HO 60' PS Auto Boxcar SOU #17077 (ATHG75888)

This HO-scale 60-foot Pullman Standard Auto Boxcar in Southern Railway livery with road number SOU 17077 is a detailed reproduction of the classic PS auto parts boxcar used to move automotive components in the 1960s. Designed for realistic operation on HO layouts, it features a fully detailed cushion underframe with air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder plumbing; separately applied wireform grab irons; etched metal coupler platforms and a precise roofwalk. It rides on 100-ton roller bearing trucks with animated rotating bearing caps, uses machined RP25 wheels, and employs body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, lift bars, trainline hoses, and brake hoses. The model is weighted for smooth performance and is suitable for standard HO track, with a minimum radius of 18 inches and a recommended 22 inches for optimal running.

Legendary Liveries, an exclusive Athearn feature, offers select paint schemes that explore historical and alternate takes on the era, enriching proto-freelance layouts or collections. The 1960s prototype arose from a collaboration among Ford Motor Company, Pullman Standard, and Santa Fe to deliver a standard auto parts boxcar, introduced in 1965 and widely used to reshape automotive logistics and rail transportation. This model captures that heritage while providing flexible, visually striking paint options for a compelling addition to any HO roster or diorama.
