HO 50' Exterior Post High Cube Plug Door Box Car (RND-2081)

An HO-scale 50-foot exterior-post high-cube box car with plug-door ends, this ready-to-run model recreates a late-1970s design that offered extra cubic capacity for freight service on modern layouts. In real operation these cars commonly hauled canned goods, finished rolls of paper, appliances, furniture, and lumber, making them a versatile addition to any HO rail layout.

Key details include a separate brake wheel, RP25-profile machined wheels, and a weighted undercarriage for smooth running. The car uses body-mounted McHenry scale-knuckle couplers for authentic operation and arrives fully assembled with a highly detailed injection-molded body that’s painted and printed for realistic decoration. It fits HO layouts with a minimum turning radius of 18 inches.
