HO 40' Express Boxcar D&RGW #268 Plastic Model Kit (ATH72257)

HO Scale 40' Express Boxcar, Rio Grande Western #268. This finely detailed model reproduces a 40-foot mail and express boxcar from the D&RGW fleet, ideal for depicting the era's express service on a model railroad. It features double Youngstown doors and a separately applied brake wheel and roof walk for authentic prototypical detail.

It rolls on screw-mounted express-type trucks with 33-inch machined metal wheels in RP25 contours for smooth operation on HO layouts. The injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration, and it uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling. Weighted for optimum performance and with a minimum 18-inch radius, this model is suitable for a wide range of layouts. Decorated to match the recent release of 60-foot arch roof passenger cars, it presents a cohesive look for a D&RGW express/mailing train on the layout.
