Description
This HO scale, 50-foot Youngstown plug-door insulated box car in DRGW livery (60860) recreates a mid‑century refrigerated service car. The plug doors slide to form a tight seal, reflecting how insulated box cars kept perishables like canned foods within a narrow temperature range during transit.
Details include separately applied brake wheel and ladders, 70-ton roller bearing trucks, 33″ machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and weight for dependable tracking. The model uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and a highly detailed injection-molded body with painted and printed decoration to match prototypical DRGW schemes. It is built to run on HO layouts with a minimum 18″ radius curves, making it a practical addition for realistic operating sessions.
