The Athearn ATHG26855 is a high-quality HO scale 50-foot SIECO box car representing the Boston & Maine Railroad, numbered 78101. This model comes with many great features. It has separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, along with a photoetched cross-over platform. The 33” machined metal wheels have RP25 contours, and the car is weighted for optimal performance. The highly-detailed, injection-molded body is painted and printed realistically. It has a minimum radius of 18”. The Primed for Grime models feature a duplicated look and feel of 'In Service' equipment, with faded base colors matching the prototype, making it a perfect starting point for adding grime and rust. The coupler style is McHenry Scale Knuckle, it's recommended for ages 14 and up, and no assembly is required.

Using this Athearn HO scale box car is easy. Just place it on your HO scale track and let it roll along with your other trains. When handling the car, be gentle with the separately applied parts like the grab irons and ladders to avoid damage. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and wheels regularly. If you want to add more grime and rust for a more realistic look, you can use model paints or weathering powders. Make sure to do this in a well - ventilated area. Keep the car away from small children as it is recommended for ages 14 and up. Store the car in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any damage to the paint or parts.
