HO 50' PC&F Ex-Post Box Model (ATHG26889)

HO-scale 50-foot PC&F Ex-Post Box Car is a finely detailed insulated boxcar replica crafted for mid-century freight scenes on HO layouts. Built by Pacific Car & Foundry, this model reproduces a car used to protect temperature-sensitive cargo—such as canned goods—during transit, bringing authentic period realism to a layout.

Detailing runs deep, with separate wire grab irons and etched coupler platforms, full underframe detail with air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder with plumbing, plus trainline hoses and brake hoses. The car is weighted for steady pulling, and the trucks feature rotating bearing caps. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours roll smoothly on most HO track, and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers provide prototypical operation. Finished with accurate paint and printing, this model is designed for use on standard HO layouts and can handle minimum radii of 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance.
