This N Scale Atlas 50005767 PS - 1 40 - foot boxcar features the New Haven Script DF #34019 in boxcar red and white. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The 40 - foot boxcar is a well - loved freight car, popular during the railroad transition from steam to diesel. The Pullman Standard or PS - 1 design, in particular, was a top choice among North American railroads. Built from 1947 to 1963, over 100,000 of these boxcars were produced, with some design variations like door size and roof type. Key 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.

Using this N scale boxcar is easy. Just place it on your model railroad track. It'll fit well with other N scale items. When handling, be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate parts like the separately applied ladders and the etched metal roof walk. For storage, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Every now and then, use a soft brush to clean off dust from the body, wheels, and other parts. If you notice any loose parts, use a small amount of glue suitable for model trains to fix them. That way, your boxcar will stay in great shape for a long time.
