HO 50' FMC 5077 DD Offset Box Car UO #1501 (ATH-1743)
HO-scale FMC 50-foot offset box car, UO 1501 — a faithful HO-model replica capturing FMC’s mid-1970s per diem boxcar design. The newly tooled body features road-specific doors and accurate proportions, making it a credible centerpiece for freight trains on any HO layout. Designed to run on standard HO track with an 18-inch minimum radius, it arrives painted and lettered for immediate operation and display.
Detail-rich from the factory, the car includes weight for smooth operation, 33" machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. It features separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, plus a photo-etched cross-over platform and full underbody brake detail and piping. The model embraces a “primed for grime†look, offering the feel of in-service equipment with a faded base color and an ideal starting point for weathering grime and rust. Historically, FMC’s 50-foot cars defined the era’s per diem program in the mid-1970s, with varied door configurations to suit customers, and these cars remain visible in today’s railroading.
