HO 40' Express Boxcar Southern Pacific #2700 (ATH72258)

An HO-scale 40-foot Express Boxcar modeled after Southern Pacific's mail and express service cars, numbered 2700. This detailed model represents prototype cars assigned to mail and express traffic on passenger trains, adding realism to era-accurate layouts.

Notable features include double Youngstown doors, a separately applied brake wheel and roof walk, and screw-mounted express-type trucks equipped with 33-inch machined metal wheels in RP25 contours. The car is weighted for optimum performance and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and finished with painted and printed decoration, and the model is designed for HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches to ensure smooth operation on standard tracks.
