HO High-Cube DD Plug Box (ATH88201)

This HO-scale High-Cube Double-Door Box Car is a detailed model designed for realistic operation on HO layouts. It reproduces a late-era boxcar modernized for interchange service, featuring a high-capacity body and a finely painted, printed exterior to capture authentic railroad detail. The car includes a separately applied brake wheel and an underbody brake system detail to reflect prototypical equipment.

On the rails, it rolls on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and a weighted chassis for smooth, stable handling through yards and curves. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers enable reliable, prototypical coupling, while the injection-molded body is highly detailed and finished with realistic decoration. The minimum radius is 18 inches, making it compatible with most standard HO layouts. The design nods to late-1960s to 1970s modernization—roof walks were removed under AAR rules, with some cars having ladders shortened and the brake wheel lowered—delivering an era-appropriate appearance for interchange freight operation.
