HO 40' Grain Loading Box Car UP (RND-1849)

This HO-scale 40-foot grain-loading box car in Union Pacific livery adds an authentic grain-hauling option to HO layouts, giving your freight roster a classic, period-accurate touch.

Key details include a separately applied brake wheel, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and weight tuned for smooth operation, plus body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling. The highly detailed injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration, and it runs on HO track with a minimum radius of 15 inches. Available in Legendary Liveries—an exclusive Athearn collection of iconic, historically inspired schemes—this car suits protofreelance layouts or collectors. Historically, grain box cars carried grain from the early 1900s into the late 20th century, a lineage this model nods to with its period-correct appearance.
