HO GEN 50' PC&F Box Car with Youngstown Plug Doors (ATHG-2192)

HO-scale 50-foot PC&F boxcar with Youngstown plug doors is a highly detailed model built for realistic operation on HO layouts. It captures the look of mid-century freight service with the distinctive plug-door design and a precisely molded body that stands up to yard switching and long hauls, delivering authentic appearance and reliable performance for any HO-era collection.

Inside and out, it features full underframe detail—including air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder with plumbing—plus separated wire grab irons and etched detailing. The car rides on trucks with rotating bearing caps and uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, while machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on standard track. The finish is accurately painted and printed for prototypical realism, and the model is weighted for stable tracking on HO layouts, with radii as small as 18 inches (22 inches recommended). It’s primed for grime, providing a ready starting point to weather the car to resemble in-service equipment with faded colors and rust spots consistent with its era.
