HO 50' Youngstown Plug Door Box Car MILW #3027/3041/3054 (ATH-2061)

HO scale 50-foot Youngstown plug-door insulated box car in Milwaukee Road livery, modeled after cars numbered 3027, 3041, and 3054. This replica captures the distinctive plug doors that open on tracks and seal tightly when closed, with an insulated body designed to protect perishables and other temperature-sensitive cargo on longer runs.

It features separately applied brake wheels and ladders, 70-ton roller bearing trucks, 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and weight for stable operation, plus body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for realistic coupling. The injection-molded, highly detailed body is painted and printed to reflect prototypical Milwaukee Road schemes, and it’s designed to run on an 18-inch minimum radius layout. Historically, insulated 50-foot plug-door box cars kept cargo within a few degrees of the original temperature for days, making them ideal for items such as canned foods and other perishables.
