The Athearn RND97979 HO Scale 50' FMC 5283 DD Boxcar, numbered BNSF #223999, is a remarkable model for train enthusiasts. This boxcar features a separately applied brake wheel, giving it a high level of detail. Its positionable sliding double doors add a touch of realism, and the body-mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers ensure smooth connections. The boxcar is painted and printed realistically, and comes with precision machined metal wheels that operate on all popular brands of track. The highly-detailed, injection molded body is weighted for optimum performance, and it has a minimum radius of 18”. In the mid - 1970s, the per diem box car boom started, and FMC was a major builder. The 50’ FMC cars, with various door configurations, are still seen in modern railroading. The coupler style is McHenry Scale Knuckle, it's recommended for ages 14 and up, and no assembly is required.

Using this Athearn boxcar is easy. Just connect it to your train set using the McHenry Scale Knuckle couplers. Place it on any popular brand of track and let it roll. Remember, this product is recommended for ages 14 and up, so keep it out of reach of younger kids. When it comes to maintenance, gently clean the metal wheels with a soft cloth to keep them in good working condition. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the painted and printed details. Store the boxcar in a dry place to prevent rust and damage. And since it doesn't require assembly, you can start enjoying it right away.
