When you look at a reail freight car from one of America’s finest railroads and compare it with the Atlas HO model, youwill see much more than a similarity. You’ll notice that the model is a true representation of the real thing. All of the details are in the exact same position as the prototype, from the ladders, roof walks, brake gear, etc. to the painting, printing and road numbers. When done correctly, the illusion is that you are holding a real trian in the palm of your hand. To keep up with model railroader’s demand for unmatched realism, Atlas raises the bar with each new HO freight car release by increasing the level of detail. That’s what Atlas model railroading is all about.

Each Atlas HO Freight car features free-rolling trucks with blackened metal wheels, AccuMate® body-mounted couplers and the most accurate painting and printing imaginable. You can also enjoy more distinctive features uniquely suited to teh appropriate body style, such as etched metal roof walks on the PressureAide Center Flow or detailed brake gear on the 53’ Evans double plug-door boxcars.
