Using this Athearn HO scale boxcar is easy. Just take it out of the box and place it on your model train track. It's fully assembled and ready to run, so you can start using it right away. When handling the boxcar, be gentle with the separately applied wire grab irons and etched end platforms as they are delicate. Avoid rough handling to prevent any damage. For maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. If there's more stubborn dirt, you can use a slightly damp cloth, but make sure it's not too wet. Store the boxcar in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any fading of the paint. Check the McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers regularly to ensure they are working properly. If you notice any issues, you can gently adjust them. Also, inspect the precision machined metal wheels to make sure they roll smoothly. With proper care, this boxcar will provide you with years of enjoyment in your model train collection.
