Using this Athearn HO scale box car is easy. Just place it on your train track, and it's ready to roll thanks to the fully assembled design. The McHenry scale knuckle couplers allow you to connect it to other cars in your train set. When using, make sure the track is clean to ensure the machined metal wheels can run smoothly. For storage, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint from fading. If you want to add grime and rust effects as the Primed for Grime models suggest, use model - specific paints and tools. Be gentle when applying these details to avoid damaging the separately applied wire grab irons and etched end platforms. Regularly check the couplers for any signs of wear and tear, and if needed, lubricate them slightly to maintain smooth operation.
