HO GEN 50' PC&F Box Car with 14' Plug Door Primed For Grime (ATHG-2227)

HO-scale 50-foot PC&F box car with a 14-foot plug door, primed for grime, designed to replicate an in-service freight car on modern layouts. The smooth-side body is accurately painted and printed to resemble the prototype, with a faded base color that provides an ideal canvas for weathering grime and rust.

The model features full underframe detail—including the air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder with plumbing—plus separately applied wire grab irons and etched coupler platforms. It rides on body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for reliable operation on HO track, with weight added for steady performance. Trucks have rotating bearing caps and include trainline hoses and brake hoses for added realism. A minimum 18-inch radius is recommended, with a 22-inch radius preferred for smooth operation.
