Athearn's ATHG26850 50' SIECO Box Car in HO Scale, numbered #1949 for the Virginia Central, is a top - notch model.

Using this Athearn HO scale box car is easy. Just place it on your HO scale track, and it's ready to roll. Since it's already weighted for optimum performance, it should run smoothly right out of the box. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the painted and printed details. As the minimum age recommendation is 14 years, make sure younger users are supervised. The car doesn't require assembly, so you don't have to worry about putting parts together. If you want to make it look more realistic, you can start adding grime and rust as it's primed for that purpose. Just use appropriate model - specific paints and techniques. Remember to store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any damage.
