Atlas 20005688 60' ACF Auto Parts DD Boxcar - D&TS - Detroit & Toledo Shoreline #5555 HO Scale

The Atlas 20005688 is a 60' ACF Auto Parts DD Boxcar in HO Scale, representing the Detroit & Toledo Shoreline #5555. Note that the picture might show a different road number. 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 made them great for the auto industry. Many are still in use across North America today. Features include 70 - ton roller - bearing trucks with blackened metal wheels and adjustable screws, an authentically painted and detailed body with sliding doors and 'Precision Design' recessed panels, a prototypically designed roof and ends with full rivet detail, a detailed die - cast metal underframe for better operation, a separate brake system and air reservoir, a cushion underframe with extended coupler pockets, AccuMate® operating knuckle couplers with mounting screws, and roof overspray.

Using this HO scale boxcar is easy. Just place it on your model train track, and it's ready to roll. When handling, be gentle to avoid any damage to the delicate parts like the couplers and doors. To keep it in good shape, regularly clean the wheels with a soft cloth to prevent dirt buildup that could affect its movement. You can also use a mild cleaner for the body, but make sure it's dry completely before putting it back on the track. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any color fading or warping. If you notice any loose parts, use the included mounting screws to tighten them up.
