N 50' FMC 5277 Combo Door Box Car CNA #553704 (ATH-2177)
This HO-scale 50-foot FMC combo-door box car recreates a mid-1970s FMC-built prototype, representative of the era’s per diem box cars. It captures the distinctive door configuration and styling of those cars, making it suitable for realistic operating sessions or display on a layout.
Fully assembled and ready to run, the model features a highly detailed injection-molded body with accurate painting and printing, plus a true-to-prototype combo-door design. It rides on machined metal wheels with McHenry knuckle couplers and a scale-profile brake wheel, and it is weighted for stable, reliable operation. The wheels run on Code 55 and 80 rail, and the car ships in a clear plastic jewel box for easy storage. A minimum radius of 9¾ inches is recommended to navigate curves smoothly.
