HO GEN 50' PC&F Box Car with 8' & 6' Youngstown Plug Doors (ATHG-2184)

HO-scale 50-foot PC&F boxcars with Youngstown plug doors in both 8-foot and 6-foot configurations, including a Southern Pacific Cushion Car variant. These models reproduce late-era freight service on a standard HO layout, offering authentic scale detail and reliable operation.

They feature separately applied wire grab irons, etched roofwalk and full underframe detail with air brake reservoir, control valve and brake cylinder plumbing, all carefully weighted for smooth performance. Body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers ride on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, supported by trucks with rotating bearing caps for realistic movement. The finish is precisely painted and printed for prototypical realism, and the cars are designed to run on common HO curves with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended). Primed for grime, the in-service look includes faded base colors, making them an ideal starting point for adding grime and rust on a layout.
