HO 50' PC&F Box Car with 14' Plug Door, SSW #23649 (ATHG-2220)

HO-Scale 50-Foot PC&F Smooth-Side Box Car with a 14-Inch Plug Door, SSW 23649 — a detailed, ready-to-run model for realistic freight operations on HO layouts. This car reproduces the look of a classic PC&F boxcar, carrying the road number SSW 23649 for prototypical identification and featuring authentic paint and printing to enhance realism.

It includes full underframe detail such as an air brake reservoir, control valve and brake cylinder with plumbing, plus separately applied wire grab irons and etched coupler platforms. The trucks feature rotating bearing caps and the axles roll on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, while body-mounted scale knuckle couplers ensure authentic operation. The model is weighted for smooth performance and designed to run on common HO-track brands. It is primed for grime, offering the look of in-service equipment with faded base colors and a ready starting point for adding rust and weathering. Minimum turning radius is 18 inches, with a recommended radius of 22 inches for derail-free operation on most layouts.
