HO 50' Superior Plug Box C&NW #543276 Plastic Model (ATH70750)

HO scale 50-foot Superior Plug Box Car in Chicago and North Western (C&NW) livery, modeled after a late-1960s Fruit Growers Express design. Insulated for temperature-sensitive loads, it features 10-ft wide plug doors to seal out the elements and simplify forklift loading, making it a versatile choice for depicting canned goods and other chilled freight on HO layouts.

Key details include separately applied brake wheel and ladders, 70-ton roller bearing trucks, and 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, all aided by a weighted body for stable performance. The model uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers and showcases a highly detailed injection-molded body with realistic paint and printing to reflect authentic prototype schemes. It’s designed to operate on HO layouts with a minimum turning radius of 18 inches, ensuring smooth operation on common track plans.
