HO 50' PS 5344 Box Car (ATH-2042)

HO-scale 50-foot PS 5344 box car, a faithful reproduction of a classic Pullman Standard design from the 1970s, designed to add authentic freight capacity and period detail to HO layouts. Decorated and fully assembled, this model is ready to run right out of the box, letting operators drop it onto the tracks and begin realistic operations immediately.

The car features separately applied wire grab irons, brake wheel and end ladders, and etched end platforms, along with machined 33-inch solid nickel-silver RP25 profile wheels and a weighted body for steady performance. It uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for realistic handling and a highly detailed injection-molded body. A minimum curve radius of 18 inches makes it compatible with standard HO layouts. In prototype terms, 50-foot box cars built by Pullman Standard were a mainstay of the 1970s per diem fleet and, after rebuilds, remain visible in modern railroading, giving this model a credible, lasting presence on the layout.
