HO 50' Superior Plug Box BCOL Model (ATH71059)

This HO-scale 50-foot Superior Plug Box Car in BCOL livery is a faithful reproduction of a late-1960s Fruit Growers Express design, created to model boxcars that carried temperature-sensitive freight. The insulated body and 10-foot-wide plug doors provide a tighter seal and easier forklift loading, reflecting the practical features of the prototype.

Meticulously detailed, the model rides on 70-ton roller bearing trucks with 33-inch machined metal wheels in RP25 contours and is weighted for stable, smooth operation. It uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable prototypical coupling, and the injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration in prototypical BCOL schemes. Designed for HO layouts, it requires only an 18-inch minimum radius to run smoothly on realistic tracks.
