HO 50' FMC 5077 Double Door Box Car AMC #1027 (ATH15889)
HO-scale 50-foot FMC double-door boxcar, road number AMC 1027, is a detailed representation of a classic 1970s FMC freight car used in per diem service. This model recreates the distinctive two-door design and authentic FMC styling, making it a compelling centerpiece for HO layouts—from yards to mainlines.
Fine details include separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, plus a photo-etched cross-over platform for added realism. The car rides on 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and is weighted for optimum performance. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers enable reliable, close-coupled operation, while the injection-molded body is painted and printed to closely match the prototype. It is designed to run on HO layouts with a minimum 18-inch radius, ensuring smooth operation on typical home setups. The FMC 50-foot boxcars from the era featured varied door configurations to suit customers, and this double-door AMC example captures that characteristic styling of the period.
