HO 40' Express Box D&RGW #264 Plastic Model Train Car (ATH72256)

HO-scale 40-foot Express Boxcar for the Denver & Rio Grande Western, road number 264, is a detailed model designed to represent mail-and-express cars used with passenger trains. The car features a double-door body, a separately applied brake wheel and roof walk, and screw-mounted express-type trucks riding on 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours. It is weighted for smooth operation and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, with a highly detailed injection-molded body that is painted and printed for realistic decoration. The model accommodates HO-layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches.

These cars were part of the mail-and-express traffic that accompanied passenger service in the era. The boxcar design is decorated to match the 60-foot arch-roof passenger cars, allowing it to integrate nicely with other D&RGW equipment on a model railroad layout.
