HO 50' Superior Plug Box N&W #296968 (ATH71058)

An HO-scale 50-foot Superior Plug Box Car in Norfolk and Western livery brings a classic late-1960s prototype to HO layouts. Based on a Fruit Growers Express insulated design, this model features 10-foot-wide plug doors for a tight seal against the elements and easier forklift loading, making it well-suited for depicting temperature-sensitive cargo or a broad range of freight.

Details include separately applied brake wheel and ladders, 70-ton roller bearing trucks, 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and a weighted body for smooth operation. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckles provide authentic coupling action, while the highly detailed injection-molded body is painted and printed to replicate realistic decoration in prototypical schemes. A minimum 18-inch radius accommodates common HO curves for reliable running on typical layouts.
