HO 50' PC&F Smooth Side Boxcar with 10'6" Door (ATHG68945)

This HO-scale PC&F Smooth-Side Boxcar with a 10 ft 6 in door is a detailed model designed for realistic HO layouts. Finished in the BKTY 78 scheme, it reproduces a classic 50-foot insulated boxcar built by Pacific Car & Foundry, delivering an authentic silhouette and paint for prototypical operations.

Inside, the model features separately applied wire grab irons, etched metal coupler platforms, and an etched roofwalk, plus full underframe detail including an air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder with plumbing and brake rods. It is weighted for smooth running and rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours to track well on most HO brands. Couplers are body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckles, complemented by lift bars, trainline hoses, brake hoses, and hardware for authentic operation. The finish is accurately painted and printed for realism, with a highly detailed injection-molded body that captures the smooth-side silhouette. Designed for HO curves with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended), the model reflects 1960s insulated boxcar prototypes from Pacific Car & Foundry, including variations in side panel construction and door types, cushion underframes, and full brake rigging.
