HO FMC 5327 12' Plug Door Box Car BAYL #90255 (ATH18675)

HO-scale FMC 5327 50-Foot Plug-Door Box Car in BAYL livery is a finely detailed model built for HO-layout enthusiasts seeking realistic freight operations. It features all-new tooling with accurate dimensions, a photo-etched cross-over platform, and separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel. The car rolls on 33-inch machined metal RP25 wheels and is weighted for stable performance, with body-mounted McHenry scale-knuckle couplers and a highly detailed injection-molded shell painted and printed to match prototypical schemes. A minimum 18-inch radius ensures smooth operation on common HO track.

Primed for grime models: this release duplicates the look and feel of an in-service car, with faded base colors matched to the prototype and a perfect starting point for adding grime and rust. It captures the era of the mid-1970s per diem box car boom—the 50-foot outside-post design—making it a compelling centerpiece for yards, sidings, and interchanges on HO layouts.
