HO 50' Superior Plug Box WPRX #98090 (ATH71063)

This HO-scale 50-foot Superior Plug Box Car with WPRX plug doors is a highly detailed model designed for HO-layout operations, reproducing the look and feel of late-1960s insulated boxcars used for temperature-sensitive freight.

Riding on 70-ton roller-bearing trucks with 33-inch machined metal wheels in RP25 contours, the car is weighted for smooth tracking and equipped with body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers for prototypical operation. The injection-molded body is meticulously painted and printed to match prototypical schemes, with separately applied brake wheel and ladders adding realism. Based on a Fruit Growers Express design from the era, it features insulated construction and 10-foot-wide plug doors for a tight seal and easy forklift loading, and is sized to negotiate HO curves with a minimum 18-inch radius, making it a versatile addition to yards and mainline scenes.
