The HomeShops HFB - 006 - 001 NTO presents an HO scale 86' Double Plug Door Boxcar for the Natchez Trace and Orient, numbered #573200. The picture might show a different road number. It's a limited - edition Tangent Scale Models GSC 86' Double Plug Door Box Car painted for the freelance model railroad Natchez Trace and Orient. This car is bathed in 'Tedder Green' and decorated specifically for this railroad, which is part of the freelance 'Meridian Speedway' created by Home Shops founder Christopher Palmieri. Visit www.MeridianSpeedway.net to learn more. The pool code 'GRA' on the car means it's assigned to the General Motors factory in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico. Produced exclusively for Home Shops by Tangent Scale Models in January 2023, it's based on the 1977 - 1978 Greenville Steel Car Company car body, with a built - date within that range. A key feature is five grab irons on each side, unlike previous designs. Like all Tangent cars, it has fine details, crisp paint edges, metal wheels, scale metal Kadee couplers, and rotating journal endcaps.
Using this HO scale boxcar is easy. Just place it on your model railroad track and let it roll along. When handling, be gentle to avoid any damage to the fine details and paint. To keep it in good condition, regularly clean it with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they could scratch the paint or damage the components. If you need to store it, find a dry and cool place to prevent rusting of the metal parts. Enjoy adding this unique boxcar to your model railroad collection!
