Discover the Athearn ATH3868 N Scale 50-Foot Box Car representing the Central New Jersey Railroad (CNJ) #41022. This model comes with three road numbers, offering variety. It features etched metal stirrup steps for a realistic look, a detailed molded underframe, and either Pullman Standard or Superior plug doors. The roof is either Pullman Standard or Stanray (Superior) to match the prototype. Equipped with N-scale 70 ton trucks and machined 33” metal wheels, it provides smooth operation. The body-mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers ensure easy connection. Weighted for optimal performance, it has a minimum radius of 9 ¾”. In the 1960s, the North American Car Corporation designed this 50’ outside post, insulated, plug door box car, which was often leased to private shippers and had complex, colorful paint schemes.

Using this Athearn box car is easy. Just connect it to your N-scale train using the McHenry® couplers. Make sure to place it on tracks with a radius of at least 9 ¾” for smooth running. When handling, be gentle with the etched metal stirrup steps as they can be delicate. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and wheels regularly. Keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any damage to the paint. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of glue to fix them, but be careful not to get glue on the moving parts.
