N 50' NACC Box Car D&H #28042 (ATH3858)

Delaware & Hudson’s 50-foot NACC box car, road number 28042, is an authentic N-scale model of a classic 1960s North American Car Corporation design. This detailed replica recreates the insulated, plug‑door boxcar and is offered with three road numbers for roster variety. It features etched metal stirrup steps, a molded underframe, and options for Pullman Standard or Superior plug doors, with roofs that mirror Pullman Standard or Stanray (Superior) styling to match the prototype. The model rides on N-scale 70-ton trucks with machined 33-inch metal wheels and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. It is weighted for smooth operation and can negotiate curves down to a 9 3/4-inch radius.

Prototype background: The real car was developed in the 1960s by the North American Car Corporation as a 50-foot outside-post insulated plug-door boxcar and was rostered by several railroads, often appearing in complex paint schemes. This model faithfully captures that heritage, offering era‑appropriate detailing for authentic rosters on modern layouts.
