Atlas 50005698 NKP - Nickel Plate Road #84055 (Boxcar Red, black, white) 50' GA RBL Plug-Door Boxcar N Scale

The Atlas 50005698 is an N scale 50' General American Corporation RBL plug-door boxcar, representing the Nickel Plate Road #84055 in striking red, black, and white. Note that the picture might show a different road number. Designed in the early 1960s, this boxcar features an all-welded body construction and a wide range of load restraining devices. Ideal for transporting goods sensitive to temperature changes, it was initially used for canned goods and newsprint, later becoming popular for beverages and perishables. Without actual refrigeration, it can keep a load's temperature stable within a few degrees for several days during transit. Key features include being ready to run, made of injection-molded plastic, with fine scale detail, separately applied wire cut levers, etched metal roofwalks, crisp painting and printing, and etched metal crossover platforms.

Using this N scale boxcar is a breeze - it's ready to run right out of the box! Just place it on your model train track and it's good to go. When handling the boxcar, be gentle as the wire cut levers and etched metal parts are delicate. Avoid dropping or hitting the boxcar to prevent damage. To keep it looking its best, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If there's a lot of dust, you can use a mild soap and water solution, but make sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards. Store the boxcar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint from fading. With proper care, this boxcar will be a great addition to your model train collection for years to come.
