Part of Athearn's Primed for Grime series, this model features a factory-applied faded finish that captures the appearance of equipment that has spent years in regular service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FMC 5327 boxcar traces its roots to the 1970s incentive per diem boxcar boom, when numerous shortline railroads acquired new freight cars to generate revenue through interchange service. Built by FMC, these 50-foot outside-post boxcars became a familiar sight across North American railroads. Many remained in service for decades, passing through different owners and paint schemes along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Riverport Railroad version represents the later years of these cars, making it a natural fit for modern freight operations, interchange traffic, and industrial switching layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePrimed for Grime Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAthearn's Primed for Grime series offers a different approach to factory-finished rolling stock. Rather than a freshly painted appearance, these models feature faded base colors inspired by prototype equipment in everyday service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish looks right at home in a working freight train and provides an excellent starting point for modelers who want to add their own rust, dirt, and weathering effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHO Scale (1:87)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiverport Railroad (RVPR) #77027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50' FMC 5327 outside-post boxcar with 12' plug door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimed for Grime factory-faded paint finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed injection-molded body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched crossover platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied grab irons, end ladders, and brake wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e33\" machined metal wheels with RP25 contours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighted for reliable operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate paint and lettering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum operating radius: 18\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect for Modern Freight Operations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its faded Riverport Railroad lettering and distinctive FMC construction, this boxcar is a good addition to mixed freight trains, industrial switching operations, or a modern shortline roster.
