Athearn presents the ATH26737 50' FMC Combo Door Box Car in HO Scale, featuring BN Burlington Northern #316210. The model comes with separately applied wire grab irons and etched end platforms. It's weighted for top - notch performance and has a minimum radius of 18”. Body - mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers are included. Fully assembled, it's ready for your layout right away. The machined metal wheels with RP25 contours work on all well - known track brands. The car is accurately painted and printed for a realistic look, and its injection - molded body is highly detailed. The Primed for Grime models mimic the 'In Service' equipment, with faded base colors matching the prototype, making it a great starting point for adding grime and rust. In the mid - 1970s, the per diem box car boom began, and FMC was a major builder. The 50’ outside post, non - terminating end box car was the base for new per diem cars then, with various door configurations. These cars are still visible in modern railroading. Product Specs: Scale HO, Reporting Mark ABOX, Sub Brand ATHEARN, Coupler Style McHenry Scale Knuckle, Era 2010 - Present Day.

Using this Athearn HO scale 50' FMC combo door box car is a breeze. Just place it on your layout, and it's ready to roll thanks to the fully - assembled design. When operating, make sure the track is clean as the machined metal wheels can be sensitive to dirt. As for couplers, handle them gently to avoid damage. To maintain the car's appearance, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If you want to add grime and rust, start lightly. You can use appropriate model - specific paints and techniques. And always check the couplers and wheels periodically to ensure they're in good working condition.
