HO 40' Express Boxcar D&RGW #261 (ATH72255)
HO-scale 40-foot Express Boxcar in Denver & Rio Grande Western livery, car number 261, a detailed model representing the era's mail and express service on HO layouts.
It features double Youngstown doors, a separately applied brake wheel and roof walk, screw-mounted express-type trucks, and 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth, reliable operation. Weighted for optimum performance, this model uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and a highly detailed injection-molded body that is painted and printed for realistic decoration. With an 18-inch minimum radius, it rolls well on standard HO curves and is decorated to match the recently released 60-foot arch-roof passenger cars, enabling cohesive, era-true scenes of mail-and-express service across the layout.
