HO 40' Express Boxcar B&O #1605 Plastic Model (ATH72250)

HO Scale 40-Foot Express Boxcar, Baltimore & Ohio No. 1605. This highly detailed model reproduces a 40-foot express boxcar used for mail and express service in the era of passenger trains. It features double Youngstown doors and includes separately applied brake wheel and roof walk to enhance realism.

Equipped with screw-mounted express-type trucks on 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, the car is weighted for smooth operation and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable handling. The injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration, and the model requires a minimum 18-inch radius to navigate HO curves. Decorated to coordinate with the 60-foot arch-roof passenger cars, this car represents prototype mail and express service cars from that era.
