Atlas 50005775 PS-1 40' Boxcar MKT - Missouri-Kansas-Texas #97675 (Boxcar Red, white) N Scale

This N Scale Atlas 50005775 PS-1 40' Boxcar represents the Missouri-Kansas-Texas #97675 in striking red and white. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The 40' Boxcar was a favorite among railroads during the steam-to-diesel transition. The Pullman Standard or PS-1 design was especially popular and widely used by North American railroads. Built from 1947 to 1963, over 100,000 of these boxcars were produced, with minor variations in door size, style, and roof type. 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 this N Scale boxcar is easy. Just place it on your N Scale railroad track and let it roll with your other train cars. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any damage to the small parts like the separately applied ladders and the etched metal roof walk. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body of the boxcar. Avoid using any harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint. If the wheels get dirty, you can use a small brush to clean them gently. Make sure to store the boxcar in a dry place to prevent rusting, especially on the metal wheels and trucks.
