N 50' NACC Box Car Model 42999 (ATH3864)

This 50-foot NACC box car model in N scale recreates the insulated, outside-post box car designed by the North American Car Corporation in the 1960s. The model is offered with three road numbers to reflect prototype variation and is ideal for adding authentic mid-century freight operation to a layout.

Details include etched metal stirrup steps, a detailed underframe, and roof options matching prototype variations with Pullman Standard or Stanray (Superior) styles and accompanying plug doors. It rides on N-scale 70-ton trucks with machined 33-inch metal wheels and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. Weighted for smooth, reliable running and with a minimum radius of 9¾ inches, this model suits common N-scale curves. The prototype history notes that NACC cars were widely rostered and decorated in complex schemes, so this model captures the era’s distinctive look and feel for mid-century freight scenes.
