HO 60' Gunderson Boxcar CPR #218277 (ATH75316)

Meet the HO-scale 60-foot Gunderson boxcar in CPR livery—a Gunderson-built, ready-to-run model that captures the look of modern freight on HO layouts. This 100-ton, high-cube boxcar design is widely used to carry all kinds of loads, making the car a versatile addition to any roster and ideal for collectors or operators aiming for realistic, contemporary freight trains.

Detail-wise, it features separately applied wire grab irons and etched end platforms, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and razor-sharp painting and printing. The model is weighted for smooth, reliable running and rides on 36-inch metal wheels with RP25 contours. For layout planning, the minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance. As part of Athearn’s Legendary Liveries, this edition showcases iconic or alternate CPR schemes for collecting or proto-freelance storytelling. In prototype terms, Gunderson-built 60-foot boxcars were designed to haul diverse loads—from auto parts to forest products—and this CPR rendition faithfully captures the look of that modern freight car, making it easy to recreate today’s trains on your layout.
