This 50' Double-Plug Door boxcar is a nice model.
It comes equipt with metal wheels and knuckle style couplers. The detail is mostly molded on, with seperately applied end ladders. The printing is crisp and clear. There are two road numbers per road name.

Pros:
good price, nice paint schemes
Cons:
heavy details
I got these cars mainly because of the paint schemes. The detail is not as good as I had hopped, but the end ladders do improve the over all appearance of the car.
I would also like to see Athearn move to a knuckle coupler with a metal spring in it, rather than the molded on leaf.
All in all its a nice sturdy car to fill out a train with.
