The Walthers Mainline 910-46613 brings a 50' AAR Improved Double-Door Boxcar in Pennsylvania Railroad paint to your HO layout. Lettered as PRR #88209 in classic Tuscan red with white "Cushioned Car" and Keystone logo, this car is the unsung workhorse that hauled appliances, auto parts, and any other large cargo that needed dock-level loading on both sides of a 50-foot car — the cushioned underframe protected loads from coupling impacts in classification yards.

What era is this car appropriate for?
Postwar / transition through modern. The 50' AAR Improved Double-Door design appeared in the 1950s and many cars stayed in service through the 1980s — perfect for layouts from the late steam era forward.

What was it used to haul?
Anything that needed the extra-wide 16-foot door opening — appliances, auto parts, machinery, large crates, and other lift-truck-loaded cargo. The cushioned underframe also made it a favorite for fragile loads.

Are couplers and wheels included?
Yes — the car ships ready-to-run with knuckle couplers and metal RP-25 wheelsets. No upgrades needed.

Does it work with all HO track?
Yes. Walthers Mainline cars roll on all NMRA standard HO track systems — code 100, code 83, and code 70.
