HO 40' Flat Car with Plane DODX USAF #7017 (ATH96455)

HO Scale 40-foot Flat Car with Plane, modeled after DODX and USAF configurations, is a detailed ready-to-run model that recreates a military flatcar carrying a small aircraft. The decorated unit carries authentic markings and distinct numbers for both the car and its load, giving a realistic, ready-to-run presentation on any layout.

Highlights include a separately applied brake wheel, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. The plane load is removable, featuring spinning propellers, detachable wings, and colorful artwork, and the complete model arrives fully decorated and ready to run. Weighted for optimum performance, it is designed for layout flexibility with a minimum turning radius of 18 inches. In real railroading, flatcars serve to move oversized loads that won’t fit in enclosed cars, a context this model recreates with convincing detail.
