The Athearn ATH26731 is a high - quality 50' FMC Combo Door Box in HO scale. This Railbox ABOX Late #50035 model comes with many great features. It has separately applied wire grab irons and etched end platforms. The model is weighted for excellent performance and has a minimum radius of 18”. It uses body - mounted, McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. Fully assembled, it's ready to be placed on your layout right away. The machined metal wheels with RP25 contours work well on all popular track brands. The model is accurately painted and printed for a realistic look, and its injection - molded body is highly detailed. For the Primed for Grime models, it duplicates the look and feel of 'In Service' equipment, with faded base colors matching the prototype, making it a perfect start for adding grime and rust. In the mid - 1970s, FMC built many such cars, and they're still seen in modern railroading. Product specs include HO scale, reporting mark ABOX, sub - brand ATHEARN, McHenry Scale Knuckle coupler style, and an era from 2010 to the present day.

Using this Athearn HO scale railbox model is easy. Since it's fully assembled, you can directly place it on your model railroad layout. Make sure the track you use is of a popular brand as the machined metal wheels with RP25 contours are designed to work well on them. When handling the model, be gentle to avoid damaging the separately applied wire grab irons and etched end platforms. If you want to add grime and rust to the Primed for Grime version, start with light layers. You can use appropriate model - specific paints or weathering powders. For maintenance, keep the model in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Periodically, clean the wheels with a soft, dry cloth to ensure smooth operation on the track.
