HO 50' PS 5277 Box Car C&IM #1005 (ATH15956)

An HO-scale 50-foot Pullman Standard boxcar model, this piece recreates a mid-1970s C&IM boxcar for realistic freight trains. It features a single 10-foot Pullman Standard door, separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, plus a photo-etch crossover platform for added realism. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours roll smoothly, and the car is weighted for stable operation on typical layouts. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers ensure authentic coupling, while the injection-molded body is painted and printed to capture the prototype’s detailing. With a minimum radius of 18 inches, it runs reliably on most HO tracks and layouts.

Rooted in the classic Pullman Standard 50-foot outside-post design from the 1970s, this model reflects the era’s bright, varied per diem boxcars built for a diverse set of customers. Lettered for C&IM, it offers period-accurate detailing and rugged construction designed for regular layout use. The finished model combines a detailed injection-molded body, precise wheel profiles, and scale couplers for dependable operation on HO layouts, even on relatively tight curves. Painted and printed decoration completes the look, letting it blend with other era-appropriate rolling stock to create authentic scenes.
