The ATLAS 50005151 N Scale 50' Smoothside RBL Boxcar from MPLX, Mountain Pine Lumber #1002. Note that the picture might show a different road number. From 1963 to 1965, the Chicago Ridge plant of North American Car Company (NACC) made nearly 750 of their first in - house RBL smoothside cars. It's a transitional design between Pacific Car and Foundry offset door cars and later outside post RBLs. This car has a centered plug door and is only available in a 50’ 1” interior length. As lease cars, they had many colorful paint schemes from the 60s to the early 2000s. Key features include accurate and colorful paint schemes and road numbers, and free - rolling trucks with knuckle couplers.

Using this ATLAS N Scale boxcar is easy. You can simply place it on your N scale model train track and let it roll along with your other trains. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any damage to the delicate parts like the knuckle couplers. To keep it in good condition, regularly clean the wheels and couplers with a soft, dry cloth. This will help maintain its smooth movement. Also, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint from fading. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of glue to fix them, but make sure to do it carefully so as not to get glue on other parts of the boxcar.
