This Athearn ATHG26858 50' SIECO box car in HO scale represents the AD&N Ashley Drew & Northern #7735. It comes with many great features. The model has separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel. There's a photoetched cross - over platform. It uses 33” machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and is weighted for top - notch performance. The highly - detailed, injection - molded body is painted and printed realistically. With a minimum radius of 18”, it fits well in many layouts. The Primed for Grime models mimic the 'In Service' look, with faded base colors matching the prototype and are a great start for adding grime and rust. The coupler style is McHenry Scale Knuckle. It's recommended for ages 14 and up and requires no assembly.

Using this Athearn HO scale box car is easy. Just place it on your model train track and let it roll along. When handling the car, be gentle with the separately applied parts like grab irons and ladders to avoid breakage. For maintenance, you can clean the wheels with a soft, dry cloth to keep them running smoothly. If you want to add grime or rust as the Primed for Grime feature suggests, use appropriate model paints or weathering powders. Since it's recommended for ages 14 and up, make sure younger users are supervised. Keep the car away from sharp objects and extreme temperatures to preserve its quality.
