The Atlas 50004874 42' Coil Steel Car CSXT - CSX #496625 in N Scale (picture might show a different road number) is a great addition to your model railroad. As the demand for coiled steel transportation grew, a new type of purpose - built freight car emerged. Before the 1960s, coiled - steel rolls were usually transported in specially equipped gondola cars. Then, a lighter car designed to haul steel coils in an integral trough became popular, with over 17,000 cars built. Atlas' model replicates a 42' design with a unique fishbelly side sill. It features crisp painting and lettering, see - through walks, a removable hood, and detailed inside floor work.

Using this Atlas coil steel car is easy. Just place it on your N - scale model railroad track. You can connect it to other cars in your train set. When handling, be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate parts like the see - through walks. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the paint and lettering. If the removable hood gets dirty, you can take it off and clean it separately. Store the car in a cool, dry place to prevent any warping or damage.
