Description
An HO-scale FMC smooth-side 60-foot double-door boxcar with SSW reporting marks, this model provides a faithful representation of a modern freight car for HO layouts. It’s designed to help simulate realistic mainline operations and busy yard scenes, letting hobbyists build believable freight rosters.
Detail features include two 8-foot Youngstown doors, separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, plus a photo-etch cross-over platform for authentic coupler access. The model rides on 100-ton roller bearing trucks with 36-inch machined metal wheels in RP25 contours and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for authentic handling. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and painted and printed for realistic decoration, and it is weighted for smooth, reliable performance on typical HO track. With an 18-inch minimum radius, it is compatible with most layouts. In prototype terms, the 60-foot boxcar is a staple of modern freight service, designed to carry a wide range of loadsâ€â€Âfrom auto parts to forest productsâ€â€Âmaking this model a versatile addition to a modern-era freight roster.
