This product is an Atheran passenger car. Atheran products are in my opinion one of the better for the casual user on model railroads, the cost is minimal and like I said, it's a reliable product. If parts are required you can usually locate them on Ebay. In the past the truck and coupler were connect together and backing up with a long train was a problem, but this car came modified with the coupler installed on the body a very good idea.
I personally feel I can rely on the Atheran product every time and just that alone is worth the cost for me. I've never had to make a repair on an Athearn passenger car. The only thing negative I would say about the car is that a little more weight is needed. The car is so long and just the speed around some turns can cause some derailments. All in all these are good products.
