HO 50' FMC 5077 Double Door Boxcar C&O #486242 (ATH15878)

HO Scale FMC 50-foot 5077 Double-Door Boxcar in Chesapeake & Ohio livery, car number 486242. This model faithfully recreates a 1970s-era FMC boxcar, designed for realistic operation on HO-scale layouts and capable of serving as a centerpiece in a yard or branch-line scene.

Details include separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, plus a photo-etched cross-over platform. The model rides on 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and is weighted for dependable performance. It uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and sports a highly detailed injection-molded body with painted and printed decoration for authentic appearance. Minimum radius is 18 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of hobby curves. FMC's 50-foot cars varied in door configuration to fit customer needs, and this model captures that era's distinctive look with period-correct styling.
