HO 50' PC&F Smooth Side Boxcar with 10'6" Door (Red) (ATHG68957)

HO-scale 50-foot PC&F smooth-side boxcar with a 10'6" door in red is a detailed model designed for realistic freight operations on HO layouts. Based on Pacific Car & Foundry’s 1960s insulated boxcar designs, it recreates a car built to protect temperature-sensitive cargo, featuring a smooth exterior, a robust injection-molded body, and a weight calibrated for reliable running.

Detailing includes separately applied wire grab irons, etched metal coupler platforms, and an etched roofwalk, with full underframe detail such as an air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinders with plumbing, all on a cushioned underframe. The model is weighted for optimum performance, rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and uses body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers. Trucks feature rotating bearing caps, while lift bars, trainline hoses, and brake hoses complete the look. Accurately painted and printed for prototypical realism, this HO model fits layout curves as small as 18 inches (22 inches is the recommended radius) for smooth operation.
