HO 50' Evans DD Plug Box Car USLX #13081 (ATH-1855)
An HO-scale Evans 50-foot double-door plug box car — a ready-to-run model that faithfully recreates a classic enclosed freight car used on US rails. It features double eight-foot plug doors, separately applied grab irons, stirrup steps, end ladders, brake wheel and stand, and other underbody details, with body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and 33-inch nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for reliable operation on HO track. Weighing for optimum performance, it arrives fully assembled with razor-sharp painting and printing and can negotiate minimum radii as tight as 18 inches.
Boxcars are designed to carry a wide range of freight in an enclosed space, and Evans-built units — produced by U.S. Railway Equipment and later Evans Railcar Manufacturing — were a common sight on American rails from the 1960s through the 1980s. This model captures that heritage with accurate proportions and authentic detailing, making it a versatile addition to yards, mainlines, and interchanges on HO layouts for both vintage-era scenes and contemporary freight rosters.
