The Athearn ATH18444 NACC 50-foot box car in HO scale is a must - have for model railroad enthusiasts. It represents the Central New Jersey Railroad (CNJ) with road number #41029. Model Features: Comes with three road numbers, applied metal grab irons, and etched end platforms. You can choose between Pullman Standard or Superior plug doors and a matching Pullman Standard or Stanray (Superior) roof. It has Ready - To - Roll 70 - ton trucks, machined 33 - inch metal wheels with RP25 contours, and body - mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. The car is weighted for top - notch performance and has a minimum radius of 18 inches. Prototype and Background: In the 1960s, the North American Car Corporation designed and built this 50 - foot outside post, insulated, plug - door box car. It was a sign of future railroad developments. Many railroads rostered these cars, often leased to private shippers. NACC cars had complex and colorful paint schemes, at a time when general leasing, billboard paint schemes, and modern freight handling were still in the future.

Using this Athearn HO scale box car is easy. Just place it on your model railroad tracks and let it roll. It's ready - to - roll right out of the box. When handling the car, be gentle with the metal grab irons and the McHenry® couplers as they can be delicate. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint or the metal parts. Store the car in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any fading of the colorful paint scheme. If you want to run it on tight curves, make sure the radius is at least 18 inches to avoid derailments.
