The Athearn ATH26733 is a 50' FMC Combo Door Railbox in HO scale, specifically the ABOX Late #50113. This model offers several great features. It has separately applied wire grab irons and etched end platforms. It's weighted for excellent performance, with a minimum radius of 18 inches. It comes with body-mounted, McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. It's fully assembled and ready to be added to your layout right away. The machined metal wheels with RP25 contours can operate on all popular brands of track. It's accurately painted and printed to look just like the real thing, and has a highly detailed, injection - molded body. The Primed for Grime models feature a look and feel like 'In Service' equipment, with faded base colors matching the prototype, making it a perfect starting point for adding grime and rust. In the mid - 1970s, the per diem box car boom started, and FMC was a major builder of these cars. The 50’ outside post, non - terminating end box car was the base for new per diem cars then, and these cars can still be seen in modern railroading. Scale: HO. Reporting Mark: ABOX. Sub Brand: ATHEARN. Coupler Style: McHenry Scale Knuckle. Era: 2010 - Present Day.

Using this Athearn HO scale model is easy. Since it's fully assembled, you can directly place it on your layout. Make sure the track you use is suitable as the machined metal wheels work on most popular brands. When you want to add more realism, the Primed for Grime models are a great start. You can use regular model - making paints and tools to add grime and rust. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent the metal parts from rusting. Avoid dropping or hitting the model as it has detailed parts that could break. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface.
