Description
An HO scale Southern Railway box car modeled after the Pullman Standard 50-foot design, road number SOU 524799, captures the mid-1970s per diem era on a modern HO layout. This detailed replica recreates the classic 50-foot outside-post box car with a single 10-foot Pullman Standard door, delivering era-accurate freight power for realistic operations.
Inside, you’ll find separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, plus a photo-etch cross-over platform and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for precise wheel profiles. The weighted chassis and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers ensure dependable handling and easier coupling, while the injection-molded body is painted and printed for authentic decoration. With a minimum radius of 18 inches, it runs smoothly on standard HO track, and the design reflects the era’s versatile 50-foot PS box cars, where door configurations varied to fit customers’ needs.
