Description
An HO-scale FMC Smooth-Side 60-foot double-door box car, this model captures the look and function of the modern high-capacity freight car common on today’s railroads. Its smooth sides and double-door design reflect a versatile car capable of carrying a wide range of loadsâ€â€from auto parts to forest productsâ€â€and it fits naturally into any contemporary HO layout, whether in a yard, on a siding, or rolling along the mainline.
Rendered with careful attention to scale details, the car features double 8-foot Youngstown doors, separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, plus a photo-etch cross-over platform. It rides on 100-ton roller-bearing trucks and 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 profiles, and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling. The injection-molded body is painted and printed for realism, and the model is weighted for steady, smooth operation. A minimum curve of 18 inches makes it compatible with most hobby layouts.
