HO GEN 50' PC&F Box Car with Youngstown Plug Doors - SP Cushion Car #698329 (ATHG-2185)

An HO scale 50-foot PC&F box car with Youngstown plug doors, presented in Southern Pacific Cushion Car styling. The model reproduces the distinctive 6-foot and 8-foot plug-door arrangement, making it a faithful addition to any HO freight roster that aims to reflect SP’s cushioning-car service.

Detail-minded features include separate wire grab irons, etched coupler platforms, and an etched roofwalk, plus full underframe detail with air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinders. It is weighted for smooth operation and rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, using body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers and trucks with rotating bearing caps for added realism. The finish is accurately painted and printed to prototypical standards, and the model is designed for HO layouts with minimum 18-inch curves (22 inches recommended). It is primed for grime— designed to resemble in-service equipment and a ready starting point for weathering to recreate rust and wear.
