HO 40' Pickle Car Model (ATH-2185)

This HO-scale 40-foot Pickle Car model recreates a historic freight car designed to carry pickles in brine. Historically, pickle cars featured multiple vats inside a roofed body with loading hatches on the roof, a distinctive look faithfully captured in this HO layout-ready replica. Fully assembled and ready to run, it blends into standard freight consists to bring period authenticity to a layout.

Designed for reliable operation, the model features a highly detailed injection-molded body, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours that run smoothly on most HO track brands. It is weighted for stable handling and features a minimum curve radius of 15 inches, enabling confident operation on tighter layouts while delivering credible, prototypical performance.
