HO 40' Express Boxcar CPR #4904 (ATH72253)

An HO scale 40-foot Express Boxcar designed to model mail and express cars from the passenger era on HO layouts. This model captures the 40-foot, double-door boxcar silhouette with a highly detailed injection-molded body and a realistic paint finish that pairs well with the 60-foot arch-roof passenger cars.

Key details include double Youngstown doors, a separately applied brake wheel and roof walk, and screw-mounted express-type trucks rolling on 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth tracking and dependable electrical pickup. The car is weighted for optimum performance and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for realistic coupling. The injection-molded body is richly detailed and painted and printed for authentic decoration, and the minimum radius is 18 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of HO layouts. In context, the design reflects the era's mail and express boxcars assigned to passenger trains and is decorated to coordinate with the 60-foot arch-roof passenger cars.
