Atlas 50005773 PS-1 40' Boxcar VTR - Vermont Railway #133 (red, white) N Scale

The Atlas 50005773 N Scale 40' PS-1 Boxcar represents Vermont Railway #133 in red and white. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The 40' Boxcar was a top - choice freight car during the railroad's shift from steam to diesel. The Pullman Standard or PS - 1 design was extremely popular among North American railroads. Built from 1947 to 1963, over 100,000 of these boxcars were produced, with minor variations in door size, style, and roof type. Features include body - mounted Accumate couplers, Barber S - 2A 50 - ton trucks with metal wheels, separately applied ladders, an etched metal roof walk, a 10' or 12' stiffener roof per prototype, and Ajax and Miner brake wheels.

Using this N scale boxcar is easy. Just place it on your model railroad track and it's ready to be part of your train set. When handling, be gentle to avoid damaging the separately applied ladders and the etched metal roof walk. To keep it in good condition, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any warping or other damage. If you want to connect it to other cars, the body - mounted Accumate couplers make the process simple.
