The 50003355 40' PS-1 Boxcar from RF&P (Richmond, Fredericksburg, & Potomac), numbered #2875, is an N Scale model (ATL-150-50003355). This 40' boxcar is super popular! It was a go - to freight car when railroads switched from steam to diesel. The Pullman Standard or PS - 1 design, which started production in 1947, was a hit among North American railroads. By 1963 when production stopped, over 100,000 were made. The basic design was the same, but details like door size, style, and roof type varied by railroad and production year. Key features include body - mounted Accumate Couplers, Barber S - 2A 50 - ton trucks with metal wheels, separately applied ladders, an etched metal roof walk, a 10' or 12' stiffener roof as per the prototype, and Ajax and Miner Brake Wheels. The AccuMate® couplers are licensed from AccuRail, Inc.

Using this N scale boxcar is easy. Just connect it to your train set using the body - mounted Accumate Couplers. It'll fit right in with your other N scale trains. When handling, be gentle to avoid damaging the separately applied ladders and the etched metal roof walk. For maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. If it gets dirty, use a mild soap and water solution, but make sure to dry it thoroughly. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity as it can damage the metal parts and the paint. Also, check the wheels and couplers regularly to ensure smooth operation.
