HO 60' Gunderson High Cube Double Door Box Car (ATH-2272)

HO-scale 60-foot Gunderson High-Cube Double-Door Box Car, a faithful Athearn model, recreates a modern Gunderson-built boxcar for HO layouts. It is designed to slot into contemporary freight trains and handle a variety of loads—from auto parts to forest products—giving any roster a realistic, era-appropriate touch.

Detail and performance features include separately applied wire grab irons and etched end platforms, body-mounted McHenry scale-knuckle couplers, and razor-sharp painting and printing. The model is weighted for steady running, rides on 36-inch metal wheels with RP25 contours, and is suitable for minimum radii of 18 inches with a recommended 22-inch radius. The finish is primed for grime, delivering an in-service look with base colors faded to match the prototype, making it an excellent starting point for weathering. The design faithfully depicts a Gunderson-built boxcar, with many paint schemes from closely related Trenton/Greenbrier-built cars offered as stand-ins for added variety.
