HO 60' Pullman Common Standard Postal Storage Car MOW Yellow (ATH-2589)

HO-scale 60-foot Pullman Common Standard Postal Storage Car in MOW Yellow from Athearn is a faithful model of a classic early-20th-century mail car. This 60-foot Common Standard design captures the look and function of cars built to speed mail handling, with arched roof panels, roof vents, and side mail slots, plus period-accurate detailing that makes it a convincing centerpiece for a mail train on an HO layout or a historical diorama.

For the Maintenance of Way (MOW) variant, the car adds practical details like an underbody battery box and wooden side doors, while mail catcher arms are omitted. Prototype accuracy is reflected in two underframe options—an As-Built version with gas tanks and a Modernized version with the battery box. The model is weighted for steady running on HO track, rides on six-wheel trucks with McHenry scale knuckle-spring couplers, and features a magnetically removable roof for interior access and window glazing. It’s suitable for 18-inch minimum-radius curves, making it a versatile addition to both display and operation-focused layouts.
