{"product_id":"ath-2059","title":"HO 50' Youngstown Plug Door Box Car MILW #3077 (ATH-2059)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eThis HO-scale, 50-foot Youngstown plug-door insulated box car in Milwaukee Road livery, numbered 3077, reproduces a classic mid-20th-century freight car designed to protect temperature-sensitive cargo on long hauls. It’s an authentic addition for period layouts and realistic freight operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eDetails include separately applied brake wheel and ladders, 70-ton roller bearing trucks, 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and a weighted chassis for smooth running. The highly detailed, injection-molded body is painted and printed to match authentic schemes, with body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for prototypical coupling. It runs on HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches. Historically, insulated boxcars began appearing in the early 1950s as 50-footers with plug doors that sealed tightly, keeping cargo within a few degrees of its original temperature for days—ideal for perishables such as canned foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47906384674868,"sku":"ATH-2059","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-2059.jpg?v=1781648937","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-2059","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
