HO 50' Youngstown Plug Door Box Car UP #492944 (ATH-2053)

HO-scale 50-foot Youngstown plug-door box car is a faithful model of a mid-century insulated freight car designed for temperature-controlled shipments. The plug doors slide closed to form a tight seal, helping keep contents within a few degrees of their original temperature for days, making it ideal for depicting perishables such as canned foods on an HO layout.

Realistic detailing includes separately applied brake wheel and ladders, 70-ton roller bearing trucks, 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and a weighted body for stable operation. The injection-molded body is painted and printed to match authentic prototype schemes, and the model uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. With a minimum radius of 18 inches, it runs smoothly on a wide range of layouts, bringing mid-century freight scenes to life.
