Specifications

Using this Athearn tank is a breeze. Since it's fully assembled, you can simply place it on your HO - scale railroad tracks right away. Connect it to other cars using the McHenry scale knuckle couplers. When setting up your layout, make sure the curves have a minimum radius of 18 inches to let the tank car move smoothly. As for maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the body. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint and details. Also, since it's recommended for ages 14 and up, make sure younger users are supervised to prevent any accidental damage. This tank car is weighted for optimal performance, so don't try to remove or add extra weight on your own. Enjoy running it on your railroad and creating realistic scenes!
