The Athearn ATH70744 is a remarkable HO scale model of the BNSF #712827 50' Superior Plug Box. It features separately applied brake wheels and ladders, 70 - ton roller - bearing trucks, and 33” machined metal wheels with RP25 contours. This model is weighted for top - notch performance and comes with body - mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. Its highly - detailed, injection - molded body is painted and printed realistically, following prototypical paint schemes. With a minimum radius of 18”, it's a great addition to your collection. Railroad boxcars are iconic symbols of the industry. This model is based on a late 1960’s Fruit Growers Express design. Insulated, it's perfect for temperature - sensitive cargo like canned foods. The 10ft wide plug doors offer a good seal, easy forklift loading, and a smooth interior wall. Boxcars are great because they can haul almost anything, and railroads love their redundancy for efficiency.

Using this Athearn HO scale BNSF boxcar model is a breeze. You can simply place it on your model train tracks with a minimum radius of 18 inches. It's ready to run right out of the box. When handling the model, be gentle with the separately applied brake wheel and ladders as they can be fragile. Avoid dropping the model to prevent damage to the 33” machined metal wheels. To keep it in great shape, clean the wheels regularly with a soft, dry cloth. You can also dust the body occasionally to maintain its realistic painted and printed decoration. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any fading or warping of the injection - molded body.
