The Atlas 50005689 is an N Scale 50-foot GA RBL Plug-Door Boxcar for American Refrigerator Transit, numbered #3525 and available in yellow, boxcar red, and black. 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. With an all - welded body and a wide range of load - restraining devices, it was perfect for transporting goods sensitive to temperature changes. First used for canned goods and newsprint, it later became a top choice for shipping beverages and perishables. Even without actual refrigeration, it can keep the load's temperature stable within a few degrees for several days during transit. Features include ready - to - run operation, injection - molded plastic construction, fine scale details, separately applied wire cut levers, etched metal roofwalks, crisp painting and printing, and etched metal crossover platforms.
Using this N Scale Atlas boxcar is easy. It's ready to run right out of the box, so you can quickly add it to your model railroad. When handling it, be gentle with the separately applied wire cut levers and etched metal parts as they're delicate. To keep it looking great, use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean the body. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the paint or details. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any color fading or warping. And that's it! Enjoy adding this realistic boxcar to your collection.
