HO 50' PC&F Box with 8'&8' Plug Door (ATHG68992)

This HO-scale 50-foot PC&F boxcar with 8-foot plug doors is a ready-to-run model that brings a classic insulated freight car to life on HO layouts. Based on Pacific Car & Foundry designs from the 1960s, it reflects a car used to transport temperature-sensitive cargo such as canned goods, with authentic plug-door configurations that mirror prototype variations (standard 8-foot plugs and 8-foot YSD plugs).

Illustrating true-to-life detailing, the model features separate wireform grab irons, etched metal coupler platforms, and an etched roofwalk, plus full underframe detail including an air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder plumbing. It’s weighted for smooth running and comes with trucks that have rotating bearing caps, along with a complete set of hardware—coupler lift bars, trainline hoses, and brake hoses. Body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers ride on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for reliable operation on popular HO track, and the highly detailed injection-molded body is precisely painted for prototypical realism. Designed around an 18-inch minimum radius (22 inches recommended), the model embodies the cushion underframe and full brake rigging typical of 1960s PC&F insulated boxcars, with prototype-inspired variations in side panels and door configurations for an authentic roster addition.
