HO GEN 50' PC&F Box Car with 14' Plug Door SSW #23575 (ATHG-2219)

HO Scale 50-Foot PC&F Smooth-Side Box Car with a 14-Foot Plug Door, from the Athearn Genesis line, is a detailed HO-scale model designed to add a realistic in-service freight car to an everyday layout. It features a highly detailed injection-molded body, full underframe detail (air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder with plumbing), separately applied wire grab irons, and etched metal coupler platforms. The model rides on trucks with rotating bearing caps and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for dependable operation on popular HO track. Coupler lift bars, trainline hoses, brake hoses, and other hardware enhance the prototypical look, while the car is weighted for steady running and painted and printed for convincing realism. Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best curve clearance.

Primed for grime, this boxcar presents the look of an active, in-service car with faded base colors matched to the prototype. It serves as a perfect starting point for weathering, grime and rust to build a believable modern-era roster on an HO layout.
