HO 40' Express Boxcar B&O #1604 (ATH72249)
HO-scale Baltimore and Ohio 40-foot Express Boxcar. This detailed model is built for HO-layout scenes and recreates the mail-and-express service cars that powered passenger-era trains. It features double Youngstown doors, a separately applied brake wheel, and a roof walk, all housed in a highly detailed injection-molded body painted and printed for realistic decoration. The decoration is coordinated with recent releases of 60-foot arch-roof passenger cars for cohesive, era-accurate scenes.
Inside, it rides on screw-mounted express-type trucks with 33-inch machined metal wheels featuring RP25 contours and is weighted for steady operation. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers ensure reliable coupling with adjacent cars. With a minimum 18-inch radius, this model performs well on standard HO curves and helps recreate the era when mail and express traffic was a vital part of railroad service.
