HO 50' Superior Plug Boxcar BCOL #4687 (ATH71060)
HO-scale 50-foot Superior Plug Boxcar in BCOL livery recreates a late-1960s Fruit Growers Express insulated design built for temperature-sensitive freight, featuring 10-foot-wide plug doors that seal out the weather and ease loading. This model captures the practical versatility of a prototype intended for hauling a wide range of goods on HO layouts.
Key details include separately applied brake wheel and ladders, 70-ton roller bearing trucks, 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 profiles, and a weighted body for smooth, reliable operation. It uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and a highly detailed injection-molded body with painted, realistic decoration reflecting prototypical BCOL schemes. With an 18-inch minimum radius, this car is ready to roll on standard HO track and layout curves.
