{"product_id":"ath18680","title":"HO FMC 5327 12' Plug Door Box Car MD\u0026W #8056 (ATH18680)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eHO-scale FMC 50-foot plug-door box car in MD\u0026amp;W livery. This detailed model recreates a mid-1970s per diem boxcar, designed for authentic HO-layout operation. 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 rides on 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and uses body-mounted operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable handling. The injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration in prototypical schemes, and it’s compatible with HO minimum radii of 18 inches or larger for smooth operation on most layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eThe model includes a “primed for grime” finish, duplicating the look of an in-service boxcar with faded base colors matched to the prototype and a ready starting point for adding grime and rust. It reflects FMC-era variation in door configurations and comes with historical context describing how mid-1970s per diem boxcars—built on FMC’s 50-foot outside-post platform—shaped the fleet. This combination of high-fidelity detailing and period accuracy makes it a versatile centerpiece for HO-scale yards and mainline scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47574465151028,"sku":"ATH18680","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH18680.jpg?v=1773321898","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath18680","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
