HO 40' Modern Box Car MKT #5573 (ATH69448)

This HO-scale 40-foot Modern Box Car from MKT, car number 5573, is a ready-to-run model designed for authentic freight operations on an HO layout. It reproduces the modernized boxcar profile used for interchange service in the late 1960s and 1970s, reflecting AAR modernization guidelines that shaped freight cars of the era.

Ready to roll straight from the box, the model features a detailed underbody brake system, machined metal wheels, and a weighted body for stable, smooth performance. RP25-contoured wheels ensure reliable operation on most popular HO track brands, while body-mounted McHenry operating-scale knuckle couplers provide prototypical coupling. With an 18-inch minimum radius, it fits comfortably on a wide range of standard layouts.
