HO GEN 50' PC&F Box Car with Youngstown Plug Door (ATHG-2183)

HO Gen 50' PC&F Box Car with Youngstown plug doors is a detailed HO-scale replica of a 50-foot PC&F box car, featuring authentic Youngstown plug doors in both 6' and 8' configurations. It’s built for smooth operation on standard HO tracks and adds a realistic, in-service look to freight scenes on a layout.

The model packs in full underframe detail—including air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinders with plumbing—along with separately applied wire grab irons, etched coupler platforms, and an etched roofwalk. It’s weighted for stable handling, rides on trucks with rotating bearing caps, and uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, trainline hoses, and brake hoses. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure reliable performance across common HO-track brands, while the carefully painted and printed finish delivers prototypical realism on a highly detailed injection-molded body. The car is designed for a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) and is primed for grime, providing an authentic in-service look and a perfect starting point for adding dirt, rust, and weathering to match prototypes.
