HO GEN 50' PC&F Box Car with 14' Plug Door, SSW #23705 (ATHG-2221)

HO-scale 50-foot PC&F box car with a 14-inch plug door is a highly detailed model built to bring authentic freight equipment to HO layouts. It reproduces a PC&F smooth-side box car with features such as separate wire grab irons and etched metal coupler platforms, full underframe detail including air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder plumbing, and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers for realistic coupling. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on common HO track, while the injection-molded body is accurately painted and printed for prototypical realism. Rounding out the package are trainline hoses, brake hoses, lift bars, and hardware, with a minimum radius of 18 inches and a recommended radius of 22 inches to support reliable handling on typical layouts.

Weighted for optimum performance, the model features a detailed underframe, injection-molded body, and precise paintwork to deliver a convincing prototype appearance. It is primed for grime, replicating the worn look of in-service equipment with faded base colors that provide a ready starting point for weathering grime and rust. When paired with other HO-scale freight cars, its authentic dimensions and hardware provide a lifelike presence on modern layouts.
