The Athearn ATH26728 is a high - quality HO scale model of the 50' FMC Combo Door Box, Railbox ABOX Early #50220. It features separately applied wire grab irons and etched end platforms, adding to its detailed look. The model is weighted for excellent performance and has a minimum radius of 18”. It comes with body - mounted, McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers and is fully assembled, ready to be placed on your layout right away. The machined metal wheels with RP25 contours work well on all popular track brands. It's accurately painted and printed for a realistic look, and has a highly detailed, injection - molded body. The primed for grime models replicate the 'In Service' equipment, with faded base colors matching the prototype, making it a great starting point for adding grime and rust effects. In the 1970s, FMC built many of these per - diem box cars, and they can still be seen in modern railroading. Product specs include HO scale, reporting mark ABOX, ATHEARN sub - brand, McHenry Scale Knuckle coupler style, and an era from 2010 to present day.

Using this Athearn model is a breeze. Just take it out of the box and place it on your HO scale track. It's fully assembled, so you don't have to do any complicated setup. When operating it, make sure the track is clean and free of debris to ensure smooth movement. Since it has a minimum radius of 18”, avoid using it on very tight curves. For maintenance, gently dust the model with a soft brush to keep it looking good. If you want to add grime and rust effects, the primed for grime models are a perfect starting point. Use appropriate model - specific paints and weathering powders. Store the model in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint from fading.
