Atlas 50005699 NKP - Nickel Plate Road #84069 (Boxcar Red, black, white) 50' GA RBL Plug-Door Boxcar N Scale

The Atlas 50005699 NKP is an N scale 50-foot General American RBL plug-door boxcar. It's modeled after the Nickel Plate Road #84069, featuring boxcar red, black, and white colors. Note that the picture might show a different road number. Designed in the early 1960s, this General American RBL car 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 changes, it was initially used for canned goods and newsprint but later became popular 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. 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 boxcar is easy. It's ready to run right out of the box, so you can place it on your model train track and start using it immediately. When handling the boxcar, be gentle as it has fine scale details and separately applied wire cut levers that can be easily damaged. Keep it away from rough surfaces and sharp objects. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. If there are any stubborn marks, you can use a mild, non - abrasive cleaner. Avoid getting water or cleaning agents inside the car, as this could damage the plastic components. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any warping or damage to the painted and printed surfaces.
