The Athearn ATH2284 is a high - quality N scale single door boxcar representing the St. Louis San Francisco (SLSF) #44155 - PS 5277. It comes fully - assembled and ready to run right out of the box, packed in a jewel box that's perfect for display and storage. The painting and printing are razor - sharp, giving it a realistic look. With screw - mounted trucks for accurate tracking and McHenry knuckle spring couplers installed, it operates smoothly on Code 55 and 80 rail. It has a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches. In the mid - 1970s, the per diem box car boom led to the creation of many such cars by Pullman Standard. These 50’ outside post box cars, with varying door configurations, are still seen in modern railroading. The coupler style is body - mounted McHenry Scale Knuckle, suitable for the 1970s and later eras. It's recommended for ages 14 and up and no assembly is required.

Using this Athearn N scale boxcar is a breeze. Since it's fully - assembled, you can just take it out of the jewel box and place it on your Code 55 or 80 rail track. Make sure the track has a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches. When handling the boxcar, be gentle as the McHenry knuckle spring couplers are delicate. Avoid dropping it or applying too much force on the trucks. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and wheels. If there's any dust in the couplers, use a small brush to clean them. Keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any damage. And remember, this product is recommended for users aged 14 and above, so make sure younger kids use it under adult supervision.
