HO 50' PC&F Box / 8'8' Car (ATHG68999)
HO-scale 50-foot PC&F insulated boxcar, 8'8" tall, is a detailed replica designed for realistic operation on HO layouts. The model captures the prototype's distinctive side panel construction and door types used by Pacific Car & Foundry in the era when insulated boxcars carried temperature-sensitive freight such as canned goods, making it a natural addition to an era-accurate roster.
Beyond appearance, it includes precision detailing like separately applied wire grab irons, etched metal coupler platforms and roofwalk, a full cushion underframe and complete brake rigging. It rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and trucks with rotating bearing caps, and uses body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckles with trainline hoses and brake hoses. The car is weighted for steady performance and finished with accurate paint and printing for prototypical realism. It’s designed for HO track with an 18-inch minimum radius (22 inches recommended) to ensure smooth operation on a wide range of layouts.
