This Athearn ATHG26865 50' SIECO boxcar in HO scale represents the N&W Norfolk & Western #57870. It comes with great model features.

It's weighted for optimal running and has a highly - detailed, injection - molded body that's painted and printed realistically. The minimum radius for operation is 18”. The primed for grime models feature a look and feel of 'In Service' equipment, with faded base colors matching the prototype, making it a perfect start for adding grime and rust. The coupler style is McHenry Scale Knuckle. It's suitable for users aged 14 and above and no assembly is required.

Using this Athearn boxcar is easy. Just place it on your HO scale track with a minimum radius of 18 inches and let it roll. It's ready - to - use as no assembly is required. When handling, be gentle with the separately applied grab irons, end ladders and brake wheel to avoid damage. For maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft brush to remove dust. If you want to add more realism by adding grime and rust, the primed surface provides a great starting point. Just use appropriate model paints and weathering techniques. Remember, this product is recommended for users aged 14 and above.
