This N Scale Atlas 50005766 PS-1 40' Boxcar features the New Haven Script DF #34010 in boxcar red and white. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The 40' Boxcar was a favorite freight car as railroads switched from steam to diesel. The Pullman Standard or PS-1 design was very popular among North American railroads. Built from 1947 to 1963, over 100,000 of these boxcars were made, with some design elements varying by railroad and production year. Features include body-mounted Accumate couplers, Barber S-2A 50-ton trucks with metal wheels, separately applied ladders, an etched metal roof walk, a 10' or 12' stiffener roof per prototype, and Ajax and Miner brake wheels.

Using your N Scale Atlas 50005766 PS-1 40' Boxcar is easy. Just place it on your N scale railroad track and let it roll. When handling, be gentle to avoid damaging the separately applied ladders and the etched metal roof walk. For maintenance, you can use a soft brush to clean the body and wheels regularly. Check the Accumate couplers to make sure they are working properly and can connect to other cars smoothly. Store your boxcar in a dry place to prevent rust on the metal parts like the wheels and brake wheels. Also, be careful not to place heavy objects on it as it may deform the body.
