HO 50' PC&F Smooth Side Boxcar with 10'6" Door (ATHG68951)

HO scale 50-foot PC&F Smooth-Side Boxcar with a 10'6" door is a detailed model designed for realistic freight operation on HO layouts. Reflecting mid-century insulated boxcar design, this car captures the smooth-side profile and a 10'6" doorway used to protect temperature-sensitive cargo such as canned goods.

It features a wealth of scale details, including separate wire grab irons, etched metal coupler platforms, and an etched roofwalk, plus a fully detailed underframe with an air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinders with plumbing. The model is weighted for steady operation and rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, compatible with most HO track. Body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers, lift bars, trainline hoses, and brake hoses complete the prototype look, while precise painting and printing enhance realism. A cushion underframe and full brake rigging add authenticity, and the car is designed for HO layouts with an 18" minimum radius (22" recommended) to ensure smooth operation. Different side-panel constructions and door types are represented to reflect prototype variations from the 1960s insulated boxcar class.
