Dear HO Scale Customers;

Athearn Roundhouse has announced the 50 ft Exterior Post High Cube Plug Door Box Cars

MODEL FEATURES:

• Separately applied brake wheel and stirrups

• Highly-detailed, injection-molded body

• Metal wheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track

• Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers

• Minimum radius: 18”

PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:

Box cars are the basic building block of many trains, even today. High cube box cars offer a higher interior height which allows for larger and taller items to be hauled in them. The plug door provides a tighter seal that helps to regulate humidity and temperature better than standard sliding doors. These two features together allow cars like these to be used for a variety of commodities such as paper products and produce.

Building on a rich tradition started in 1946, the Athearn brand is home to the hobby’s best-loved models. Athearn has brought the joy of model railroading to you for 75 years, starting from our classic ‘Blue-Box” kits to our most recent Genesis 2.0 line. With accurate detailing and painting, Athearn is the brand that any hobbyist is proud to own and operate. No matter your era or favorite railroad, Athearn truly is “Trains in Miniature.”
