Prototype Information:

In the 1960s, the North American Car Corporation designed and built a 50 - foot outside post, insulated, plug - door box car. It was a vision of future developments. Many railroads rostered this car, mostly bought or leased by private shippers. NACC cars often had complex and colorful paint schemes. At that time, general leasing, billboard paint schemes, and modern freight - handling techniques were still about a decade away.

This Athearn HO scale box car is ready to go right out of the box. You can directly place it on your model train track. Since it has a minimum radius of 18 feet, make sure your track layout meets this requirement. When handling the car, be gentle with the metal grab irons and couplers to avoid damage. For storage, the window packaging and interior plastic blister are there to keep it safe. If you notice any dirt on the wheels or body, use a soft, dry cloth to clean it. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and humidity to maintain its paint and structure. This car is recommended for ages 14 and up, so make sure younger users are supervised.
