HO 50' PS 5344 Box Car LCRC #1005 (ATH-2048)

HO-scale 50-foot PS box car in LCRC markings captures a classic Pullman Standard design from the 1970s, reflecting the era’s per diem service cars. This decorated, ready-to-run model reproduces the 50-foot outside-post, non-terminating end box car with variations in door configuration to mirror real fleets. It features separately applied wire grab irons, a brake wheel and end ladders, etched end platforms, and a highly detailed injection-molded body. The car rolls on machined 33-inch solid nickel-silver RP25 wheels and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for authentic handling, with weight added for optimum performance. It arrives fully decorated and ready to roll right out of the box.

These PS-built box cars date from the mid-1970s, designed for per diem leasing and remain a familiar sight on modern rails. For model railroaders, this HO-scale box car is a versatile addition to yard and mainline scenes, delivering an authentic look of mid-century freight traffic. It runs smoothly on HO track with a minimum radius of 18 inches, making it suitable for most layouts while offering eye-catching detail and reliable operation.
