HO 60' FMC Smooth Side Double Door Box Car (ATH-1978)

HO scale 60-foot FMC smooth-side double-door box car, designed for modern freight service on HO layouts and capable of hauling a wide range of loads.

From the twin 8-foot Youngstown doors and separately applied grab irons to the photo-etch cross-over platform, this model captures the level of detail of a contemporary boxcar. It rides on 100-ton roller-bearing trucks and 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. The injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration and is weighted for steady, reliable operation on HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius. This 60-foot boxcar is a common sight in modern railroading, designed to carry everything from auto parts to forest products, making it a versatile addition to any layout's freight trains.
