HO 40' Pfaudler Wood Milk Car (ATH-2357)

HO-scale 40-foot Pfaudler Wood Milk Car from Athearn is a meticulously detailed freight model designed for HO layouts, letting you reproduce authentic milk-haul service on your railroad. It features a realistically proportioned wooden body and authentic decoration that enhances the look of any milk-car or mixed-freight consists.

Key details include a separately applied brake wheel, a molded plastic underframe with a separate brake cylinder, screw-mounted express-type trucks, and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth, reliable operation. The car rides on a weighted chassis for steady running and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for clean, reliable coupling and handling. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and finished with realistic paint and printing, and the minimum curve radius of 18 inches ensures smooth performance on standard HO layouts.
