HO 50' PC&F Boxcar 8' & 8' YSD Plug Door SP #291983 Model (ATHG68988)

HO-scale 50-foot insulated boxcar modeled after Pacific Car & Foundry designs from the 1960s, featuring 8-foot YSD plug doors for authentic prototypical operation. The model captures the insulation, side-panel construction, and door types used on the prototype, along with a detailed cushion underframe and full brake rigging to deliver realistic appearance and dependable running on HO layouts.

Designed for reliable HO operation, this boxcar includes separately applied wire grab irons, etched metal roofwalk and coupler platforms, a full underframe with an air brake reservoir, control valve and brake cylinder plumbing, and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours. It rides on trucks with animated rotating bearing caps and uses body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers, while being weighted for steady tracking. The finish is carefully painted and printed for prototypical realism, with trainline hoses, brake hardware, and other detail work. For layout planning, allow a minimum 18-inch radius, with 22 inches recommended for smoother handling on typical HO track.
