Athearn ATH15963 RBOX RailBox #43643 - PS 5277 Single Door Boxcar HO Scale

The Athearn ATH15963 HO Scale RailBox #43643 is a highly detailed single - door boxcar of the PS 5277 model. It features a single 10’ Pullman Standard door, with separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel. The photo - etch coupler cross - over platform adds realism, and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth running. It's weighted for top - notch performance and comes with body - mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. The injection - molded body is both highly detailed and painted and printed realistically. With a minimum radius of 18”, it fits well in many layouts. In the mid - 1970s, Pullman Standard built many of these cars during the per diem box car boom, and they're still visible in modern railroading.

Using this Athearn HO scale boxcar is simple. Just place it on your train track and connect it to other cars using the McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. Make sure the track has a radius of at least 18 inches for it to run smoothly. When handling the car, be gentle with the separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and brake wheel as they can be fragile. For maintenance, regularly clean the machined metal wheels to keep the car running well. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and remove any dust. Store the boxcar in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint and printing from fading.
