N 50' FMC 5347 Box Model (ATH25469)

Introducing the N scale FMC 50-foot Boxcar Model, a faithful recreation of the classic FMC boxcar that graced many railroads in the 1970s. Designed for N-scale layouts, this model offers accurate proportions and dependable operation on modern tracks. It runs on Code 55 and Code 80 rail and features a scale-profile brake wheel, roller-bearing trucks, machined metal wheels, and screw-mounted trucks. With McHenry knuckle couplers and a weighted body, it delivers smooth handling and reliable coupling on curves and grades.

Prototype history: In the mid-1970s, FMC-built boxcars helped drive a boom in per diem freight cars. The 50-foot outside-post, non-terminating end boxcar formed the foundation for many new designs, with door configurations varied to meet customer needs. These FMC cars remain a familiar sight on today’s railroads, making it possible to recreate era-specific freight scenes with confidence.
