The 40' PS-1 Boxcar, specifically the Rock Island #22082 in N Scale (ATL-150-50003356), is a classic in the railroad world. As railroads shifted from steam to diesel, this 40' boxcar became one of the most beloved freight cars. The Pullman Standard or PS-1 design was extremely popular among North American railroads. Built from 1947 to 1963, over 100,000 of these boxcars were produced, with minor variations in door size, style, and roof type depending on the railroad and production year. Features include body-mounted Accumate Couplers, Barber S-2A 50 - ton trucks with metal wheels, separately applied ladders, an etched metal roof walk, a 10' or 12' stiffener roof per prototype, and Ajax and Miner brake wheels. AccuMate® couplers are made under license from AccuRail, Inc.

Using this N Scale Atlas 40' PS - 1 Rock Island Boxcar is easy. Just place it on your N Scale railroad track and connect it to other cars using the body - mounted Accumate Couplers. When handling the boxcar, be gentle to avoid damaging the separately applied ladders and the etched metal roof walk. For maintenance, regularly check the Barber S - 2A 50 - ton trucks with metal wheels. If they seem dirty, use a soft brush to clean them. Also, make sure the brake wheels are in good working order. Keep the boxcar in a dry place when not in use to prevent any rust or damage.
