HO 60' FMC Smooth Side Double Door Box Car (ATH-1979)

This HO-scale 60-foot FMC Smooth-Side Double-Door Box Car models the modern, 100-ton high-cube freight car commonly seen on North American rails, designed to haul a wide range of loads—from auto parts to forest products. It’s an essential addition for HO layouts, delivering a realistic, everyday boxcar that can populate a yard or pull a long freight consist.

Highlights include double eight-foot Youngstown doors, separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel; a photo-etch cross-over platform for the couplers; 100-ton roller bearing trucks; 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours; body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers; a highly detailed injection-molded body with faithful paint and lettering; and a weight tuned for smooth tracking. With a minimum radius of 18 inches, it runs reliably on standard HO curves, making it a practical, authentic addition to any modern freight roster.
