HO 50' FMC 5077 DD Offset Box Car CPLT #7706 (ATH-1738)
HO-scale 50-foot FMC 5077 double-door offset boxcar—a newly tooled model that faithfully recreates mid-1970s per diem freight equipment. It features road-specific doors and a host of detailed touches, including separately applied grab irons, end ladders, a brake wheel, and a photo-etched cross-over platform. Full underbody brake detail and piping, a weighted body for smooth running, 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and body-mounted operating scale knuckle couplers all come together, while precise painting and printing deliver a realistic decoration. The car is designed to run on HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius, making it a versatile addition to any roster.
Prototype history and weathering-friendly finish: During the mid-1970s FMC produced a surge of 50-foot boxcars with varying door configurations to fit different customers, a hallmark of the era’s per diem fleet that remains visible on today’s rails. The model’s finish mimics the in-service look, with slightly faded base colors that provide an excellent starting point for adding grime and rust. With careful detailing and weight, it’s designed for dependable operation on typical HO setups, delivering a convincing, hands-on representation of classic freight equipment.
