HO GEN 50ft PC&F Box Car with 8' & 6' Youngstown Plug Door (ATHG-2186)

This HO-scale 50-foot PC&F boxcar with 6' and 8' Youngstown plug doors is a detailed prototype replica designed for HO layouts and serious freight modeling. It captures the distinctive PC&F design and plug-door hardware, and is available in paint schemes including a SP “Cushion Car” variant for authentic operating drama on your layout.

Key features include separately applied wire grab irons, etched metal coupler platforms, and a fully detailed underframe with air reservoir, control valve and brake plumbing. The model is weighted for steady running and rolls on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on most tracks, while body-mounted scale double-shelf McHenry couplers ensure reliable coupling. The trucks feature rotating bearing caps for added realism, and the finish is accurately painted and printed for prototypical realism. It’s primed for grime weathering—an ideal starting point for adding rust and wear. A minimum turning radius of 18 inches is recommended, with 22 inches or larger preferred for best performance on typical HO layouts.
