Atlas 50005691 50' GA RBL Plug-Door Boxcar American Refrigerator Transit #3594 (yellow, Boxcar Red, black) N Scale

The Atlas 50005691 is a remarkable N Scale 50-foot GA RBL Plug-Door Boxcar representing an American Refrigerator Transit, specifically #3594. It comes in eye - catching yellow, boxcar red, and black colors. Note that the picture might show a different road number. This 50 - foot General American Corporation RBL, designed in the early 1960s, was a game - changer. Its all - welded body construction was revolutionary, and it offered a wide range of load - restraining devices for customers. Ideal for transporting goods sensitive to extreme temperature variations, it was initially used for canned goods and newsprint. Later, it became a top choice for shipping beverages and perishables. Although it doesn't provide actual refrigeration, a refrigerated load can maintain its temperature within a few degrees during several days of transit. Key features include being ready to run, made of injection - molded plastic, with fine scale detail, separately applied wire cut levers, etched metal roofwalks, crisp painting and printing, and etched metal crossover platforms.

Using this N Scale American Refrigerator Transit boxcar is a breeze. Since it's ready to run, you can place it on your model train track right out of the box and start enjoying it. When handling the boxcar, be gentle with the separately applied wire cut levers and etched metal parts like the roofwalks and crossover platforms. These are delicate and can be easily damaged. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to dust the boxcar regularly. If there are any stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but make sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards. Store the boxcar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint from fading. This will help keep your boxcar in great condition for a long time.
