N 50' FMC 5277 Combo Door Box Car (ATH-2174)

This 50-foot FMC box car with a combo door is a detailed model designed for model railroading, recreating a classic mid-1970s freight car built by the Food Machinery Corporation. The 50-foot outside-post design with non-terminating ends formed the foundation for many per diem cars of the era, and the model captures FMC’s varied door configurations that were tailored to different customers. It offers a faithful glimpse into late-1970s railroading, making it a realistic addition to any layout or display.

The model is fully assembled and ready to run out of the box, featuring a highly detailed injection-molded body that is accurately painted and printed. It rides on machined metal wheels and trucks with roller bearing and screw-mounted construction, and uses McHenry knuckle couplers for dependable coupling. Weighted for optimum performance, it rolls on Code 55 and 80 rail and carries a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches. A clear plastic jewel box is included for safe storage when not in use.
