The Athearn ATH15960 is a high - quality HO scale model of the LS&I Lake Superior & Ishpeming #2708 PS 5277 single door boxcar. It has many great features. It comes with a single 10’ Pullman Standard door. The grab irons, end ladders, and brake wheel are applied separately, adding to its realism. The photo - etch coupler cross - over platform is a nice touch. The machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth running. It's weighted for excellent performance and has body - mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. The highly - detailed, injection - molded body is painted and printed realistically. This boxcar can work well with a minimum radius of 18”. In the mid - 1970s, Pullman Standard built many per - diem box cars like this one, which are still seen in modern railroading.

Using this Athearn HO scale boxcar is easy. Just place it on your model railroad track and let it run. When handling it, be gentle to avoid damaging the separately applied parts like grab irons and end ladders. For maintenance, you can use a soft brush to clean the body and wheels regularly. Keep it in a dry place to prevent rusting on the metal parts. If you notice any loose parts, use appropriate glue to fix them. And always check the couplers to make sure they are working properly for smooth connections with other cars on the track.
