HO GEN 50' PC&F Box Car with 14' Plug Door (ATHG-2226)

The HO GEN 50' PC&F Box Car is a detailed model produced by Athearn Genesis, representing a significant evolution in rail transport starting from the 1960s, when insulated box cars became essential for transporting temperature-sensitive goods such as canned items. This model showcases the craftsmanship of Pacific Car & Foundry, featuring unique side panel construction and door types that are true to the prototype.

Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the box car includes separate wireform grab irons and etched metal coupler platforms, ensuring a realistic appearance. The full underframe detail comprises an air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder, complete with intricate plumbing and brake rod details. Optimally weighted, this model also has animated rotating bearing caps on the trucks and includes necessary hardware such as coupler lift bars and trainline hoses. The body is constructed from high-quality materials, accurately painted to reflect prototypical realism, and equipped with body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers and machined metal wheels suitable for all standard track brands.
