Our car is a faithful representation of the FMC 50’ Plate “C” boxcar. This car served both the IPD boom as well as being well represented in the Railbox fleet. The car is an all-steel car with corrugated ends and Youngstown or Superior Steel Door type doors.

The car features:

-All steel welded construction. This model should be assembled with either a MIG or TIG welder. This is not a hard process and can be learned by anybody (with practice!).

-Precision Steel Car details including their brake wheel and grab irons.

-Numbers etched into the steel so the car becomes “build by number”. Lightly etched numbers disappear when covered with paint.

-Tab-in-slot construction makes assembly easy!

-Steel frame included and it includes 1/2” holes for installing air lines all down the length of the carbody. This keeps air lines inside the frame and safe from damage.

-Steel roof that gives the option of being fixed in place or use the included hinges and gas strut to make the roof openable to use the inside of the carbody for storage.

Frame has 1/8” starter holes for locating couplers and trucks to make it easy!

All screws and details included.

Doors are able to be fixed in place or openable which is the modeller’ choice.
