HO 50' FMC 5283 Double Door Box Car (RND-1371)

HO-scale FMC 50-foot 5283 double-door box car, road number 2028, is an authentic ready-to-run model that recreates the classic mid-1970s FMC box cars used in per diem service. This 50-foot outside-post design with dual sliding doors captures the era's distinctive look and provides a realistic centerpiece for HO layouts.

Its features include positionable sliding double doors, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and a weight-balanced chassis for smooth, reliable operation. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and decorated with realistic paint and printing, and a separately applied brake wheel adds extra authenticity. Machined wheels with RP-25 contours ensure dependable performance on most HO track brands, and the model arrives fully assembled and ready to run. With a minimum curve radius of 18 inches, it’s well suited to a wide range of layouts while faithfully reflecting FMC’s 50-foot box cars from the 1970s and their varied door configurations.
