Body mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers make it easy to connect with other cars. It's weighted for optimum performance and has a minimum radius of 18”. Back in the 1960s, the North American Car Corporation designed and built this 50’ outside post, insulated, plug door box car. Many railroads used it, often leased to private shippers. These cars were usually decorated in complex and colorful paint schemes, showing the future of railroading development.

Using this Athearn HO scale box car is easy. First, make sure your model railroad track has a minimum radius of 18 inches as this is the minimum requirement for the car. Connect it to other cars using the body - mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. Just align the couplers and gently push the cars together. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust that accumulates on the car. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the paint or the details of the model. If you notice any loose parts like the grab irons or the wheels, handle them carefully and try to re - attach them gently. Enjoy running this great model on your railroad!
