Built by American Car & Foundry from the late 1960s to early 1970s, these box cars served assembly plants and component suppliers nationwide. They had single or double doors for easy freight access, and their versatility was a big help to the auto industry. Many are still in use across North America today. Features include 70 - ton roller - bearing trucks, a deluxe - style positionable door, prototypical painting and lettering, a die - cast underframe with realistic details and separate end ladders, AccuMate® operating knuckle couplers, and roof overspray.

Using this ATLAS box car is easy. You can place it on your N - scale train track just like any other car. It will fit well with other N - scale trains and accessories in your collection. When handling the car, be gentle, especially when moving the positionable door. Avoid dropping the car as it could damage the delicate parts like the knuckle couplers. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body of the car. If there is dirt on the trucks or underframe, you can use a small brush to gently remove it. Keep the car in a dry and clean place when not in use to prevent rust and other damage.
