PROTOTYPE HISTORY:
The modern 100-ton, high-cube, 60’ boxcar is a common sight on today's railroads. It can carry all kinds of loads, from auto parts to forest products, and is a must - have for any modern freight train.
This ready - to - run model accurately represents a Gunderson built boxcar, and similar paint schemes from Trenton/Greenbrier built cars are also available as good alternatives.
Specifications
Using this Athearn HO scale boxcar is super easy. Since it's fully assembled, you can just take it out of the box and place it on your train tracks right away. Connect it to other cars using the McHenry scale knuckle couplers. It's designed to work well on tracks with a minimum radius of 18 inches, so make sure your layout meets that requirement. As for the minimum age of 14 years, it's mainly because small parts like the wire grab irons and couplers could be a choking hazard for younger kids. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt. Avoid getting it wet, as that could damage the paint and the metal wheels. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
