Atlas HO 50' Plug Door Box Car

Starting in the mid 1950’s the AAR design was adapted to create a plug door, insulated boxcar. These cars could be used to carry food products or other perishable commodities where temperature control was important but where refrigeration was not required. Typically these cars had 8/8 panel riveted sides, a roughly eight foot door opening (there were some variations of an inch or two) straight side sills and overhanging diagonal panel roofs. These cars were built for roads nationwide and painted in fairly colorful paint schemes.

Features:

  • Highly detailed, ready-to-run model with accurate painting and printing
  • Late improved Dreadnaught ends
  • Overhanging diagonal panel roof with or without roofwalk as per the prototype
  • Straight-side sill body design
  • 8/8 panel, riveted sides
  • Highly detailed underframe
  • Separately-applied ladders, grab irons and latch bars
  • Blackened metal wheels
  • AccuMate® couplers
