Atlas 50005702 50' GA RBL Plug-Door Boxcar RI - Rock Island #6513 (Boxcar Red, white) N Scale

This Atlas N Scale 50' General American Corporation RBL plug-door boxcar, numbered Rock Island #6513, comes in a sharp boxcar red and white color. The picture might show a different road number. Designed in the early 1960s, this car was a game - changer with its all - welded body and a wide range of load - restraining devices. Ideal for transporting goods sensitive to temperature changes, it was first used for canned goods and newsprint and later became a hit for shipping beverages and perishables. It can keep a refrigerated load's temperature stable 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 Atlas N Scale boxcar is easy. Just take it out of the box and it's ready to run on your N scale track. When handling, be gentle with the separately applied wire cut levers and etched metal parts like the roofwalks and crossover platforms to avoid any breakage. To keep it looking great, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the body. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the paint or the plastic. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading. If you notice any parts coming loose, you can use a small amount of model glue to reattach them, but make sure to follow the glue's instructions.
