HO GEN 50' PC&F Box Car with Youngstown Plug Door Primed for Grime (ATHG-2193)

An HO-scale 50-foot PC&F box car with Youngstown plug doors, offered in a grime-primed finish to replicate the look of in-service equipment on an HO layout. The model features plug-door configurations in both 6-foot and 8-foot sizes, providing authentic door options that fit period scenes and weathering projects.

Detailing is deep and practical: full underframe work with air-brake components, plus separately applied wire grab irons, etched door platforms, a roofwalk, and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on common HO track. It uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers (McHenry) and is weighted for stable handling. With accurate paint and printing, this car is built to ride reliably on HO curves with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended). The grime-primed finish serves as a realistic base for applying rust and weathering to achieve a true in-service appearance.
