Description
The HO 50′ FMC 5347 Box is a detailed model featuring the MEC / Pan Am 31578 livery. This model is newly tooled, incorporating road-specific doors and separately applied features such as grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, making it a standout in any collection.
The boxcar is designed with functionality in mind, featuring a photo-etched cross-over platform and weighted for optimal performance on tracks. It is equipped with 33″ machined metal wheels that adhere to RP25 contours, ensuring smooth operation. The body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers allow for easy connections with other rolling stock.
Painted and printed to provide realistic decoration, this boxcar maintains a minimum radius requirement of 18 inches, suitable for various layouts. The design pays homage to the era of the mid-1970s when the FMC boxcars gained popularity among short lines and modern railroading enthusiasts.
