HO 50' PC&F Ex-Post Box Car Plastic Model (ATHG26896)

HO-scale 50-foot PC&F Ex-Post Box Car is a detailed plastic model that recreates Pacific Car & Foundry’s insulated boxcar, a prototype used to protect temperature-sensitive loads such as canned goods since the 1960s. The model reflects the real car with variations in side-panel construction and door types, and it includes a fully detailed underframe with brake rigging for authentic, prototypical realism on HO layouts.

Features include separate wire grab irons and etched metal coupler platforms, a weighted body for smoother operation, and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours that perform well on most HO track brands. It uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers and includes lift bars, trainline hoses, brake hoses, and other hardware for added realism. The trucks have animated rotating bearing caps, and the finish is accurately painted and printed for realistic appearance. Designed for HO layouts, it requires a minimum 18-inch radius and performs best on curves of 22 inches or larger.
