HO GEN 50' PC&F Box Car with Youngstown Plug Door (ATHG-2187)

An HO-scale 50-foot PC&F box car with Youngstown plug doors, this ready-to-run model brings authentic late-era freight realism to HO layouts. It reproduces the classic 50' PC&F boxcar silhouette with both 6' and 8' Youngstown plug doors for an era-appropriate look on the roster.

Under the shell, the model features detailed refinements such as separately applied wire grab irons, etched metal coupler platforms, and full underframe detail including an air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder with plumbing. It is weighted for smooth, steady running and rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, using body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers for reliable operation on HO track. The finishing touches ensure accurate painting and lettering, and the car is primed for grime to provide a natural starting point for weathering. It is designed for HO curves with a minimum 18-inch radius and a recommended 22-inch radius, and wears the GVSR 750060 livery for an authentic prototype look.
