This Athearn ATHG26861 HO scale model is a 50-foot SIECO box car representing the Canadian Pacific Railway, numbered #211826. It comes with amazing features. The separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and brake wheel add great detail. The photoetched cross-over platform is a nice touch. It has 33” machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and is weighted for top performance. The highly-detailed, injection-molded body is painted and printed realistically. The minimum radius is 18”. The Primed for Grime models feature a duplicated look and feel of “In Service” equipment, with faded base colors matching the prototype, making it a perfect starting point for adding grime and rust. The coupler style is McHenry Scale Knuckle. It's suitable for ages 14 and up and no assembly is required.

Using this Athearn HO scale box car is easy. Just place it on your HO scale train track and let it roll. It's ready to go right out of the box as no assembly is needed. When handling, be gentle with the separately applied parts like the grab irons and ladders to avoid breakage. Keep it away from small children as it's recommended for ages 14 and up. To maintain its appearance, you can clean it with a soft, dry cloth. If you want to add more details like grime and rust, start with the faded base colors of the Primed for Grime model and use appropriate model paints and weathering techniques. Store it in a dry place to prevent any damage.
