The Athearn ATH70748 C&NW #543202 is a high - quality HO scale model of a 50 - foot Superior Plug Box car. This model comes with a host of great features. It has separately applied brake wheels and ladders, 70 - ton roller bearing trucks, and 33” machined metal wheels with RP25 contours. The model is weighted for excellent performance and has body - mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. Its highly - detailed, injection - molded body is painted and printed realistically, with all models following prototypical paint schemes. It requires a minimum radius of 18”. Railroad boxcars are iconic in the industry. This model is based on a late 1960’s design by Fruit Growers Express. Insulated, it's perfect for handling canned foods or temperature - sensitive cargo. The 10 - foot wide plug doors seal well against outside temperatures, are easy for forklift loading, and provide a smooth interior wall. Boxcars are versatile and can haul almost anything, making them a great addition to your model railroad.

Using this Athearn HO scale model is simple. Just place it on your model railroad tracks that meet the 18 - inch minimum radius requirement. Connect it to other cars using the McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. When handling, be gentle with the separately applied brake wheels and ladders as they are delicate. To maintain the model, keep it in a clean and dry place. You can use a soft brush to dust off the body regularly. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture as this may damage the paint and the body. If you want to clean it further, use a mild cleaning solution on a soft cloth and gently wipe the surface. That's all you need to do to keep your model looking great and running smoothly.
