The ATLAS 50003970 is a 40-foot PS-1 box car representing CNJ Jersey Central #20505 in N scale (Part # 150-50003970). The 40-foot boxcar is extremely popular among railroads during the steam-to-diesel transition. The Pullman Standard or PS-1 design, in particular, was a top - choice for North American railroads. Built from 1947 to 1963, over 100,000 of these boxcars were produced, with minor design differences in door size, style, and roof type across different railroads and production years. This model comes with great features. It has body - mounted Accumate couplers, Barber S - 2A 50 - ton trucks with metal wheels, separately applied ladders, an etched metal roof walk, a 10 - foot or 12 - foot stiffener roof as per the prototype, and Ajax and Miner brake wheels.

Using this ATLAS 50003970 N scale box car is easy. You can place it on your model railroad track right out of the box. It's ready to be part of your train set and add a touch of realism. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any damage to the delicate parts like the separately applied ladders and the etched metal roof walk. To keep it in good condition, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. Also, check the body - mounted Accumate couplers regularly to make sure they are working properly and can connect smoothly with other cars in your train.
