The Athearn ATH18443 HO Scale NACC 50' Box Car represents a classic piece of railroad history. This model features three road numbers, offering variety in your collection. The applied metal grab irons and etched end platforms add a touch of realism. You can choose between Pullman Standard or Superior plug doors, and the roof is either Pullman Standard or Stanray (Superior) to match the prototype. It comes with Ready - To - Roll 70 - ton trucks and machined 33” metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation. The body - mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers ensure easy connection. It's weighted for optimum performance and has a minimum radius of 18”. In the 1960s, the North American Car Corporation designed this 50’ outside post, insulated, plug door box car. Many railroads rostered these cars, often leased to private shippers. The NACC cars had complex and colorful paint schemes, a sign of the future of railroading.

Using this Athearn HO scale box car is easy. First, make sure the track is clean and free of debris. Then, gently place the car on the track. You can connect it to other cars using the McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. Just align the couplers and give a light push. When it comes to maintenance, regularly clean the wheels with a soft cloth to keep the car rolling smoothly. Avoid exposing the car to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this could damage the paint or the metal parts. Also, be careful when handling the car to prevent any breakage of the delicate details like the grab irons and etched end platforms.
