This Atlas Master HO scale model train, the 20006735 ACF 5701 Centerflow Hopper, is a fine replica of the real - deal. It represents Cain Chemicals ALAX #36823 with striking red and white colors. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The 5701 cubic - foot covered hopper was introduced in the early 1970s to transport bulk plastic pellets. Since 1972, ACF has built around 15,000 of these cars, which were mostly bought by private firms like leasing, chemical, oil, and plastics companies. This model comes with amazing features. It has an eight - full - width panel body with nine weld seams, etched metal roof walks, ten 20' hatches, a longitudinally mounted air reservoir, pneumatic outlets, blackened metal wheels, accurate painting and printing, 100 - ton roller - bearing trucks, and body - mounted AccuMate® couplers with screw - attached coupler pockets. The AccuMate® couplers are made under license from AccuRail, Inc.

Using this Atlas Master HO scale model train is easy. You can simply place it on your model train track and let it roll along. Make sure the track is clean and free of debris for smooth operation. When handling the model, be gentle as it has delicate parts like the etched metal roof walks. Avoid dropping or applying too much pressure on it. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and wheels regularly. If there is dust in hard - to - reach areas, you can use a small, soft - bristled brush. Keep the model in a dry and cool place to prevent any damage to the paint or other components. And always remember, the AccuMate® couplers are a key part of the model, so handle them carefully to ensure proper connection with other train cars.
