Specifications

This Athearn tank car is super easy to use. Since it's fully assembled, you can just take it out of the box and place it on your HO scale tracks. It's ready to run right away! When using it, make sure the track is clean and free of debris to ensure smooth movement. As for maintenance, you can gently dust the body with a soft brush every once in a while to keep its painted and printed details looking great. The wheels may need a bit of lubrication from time to time, but be careful not to use too much. Also, this product is recommended for users aged 14 and up, so keep it out of reach of younger kids. Have fun with your new tank car on your railroad layout!
