The Atlas 50004893 is an N Scale 42' Coil Steel Car representing the Norfolk Southern Class CS 24, numbered #170003 in gray color without a cover. Note that the picture might show a different road number. As the transportation of coiled steel grew, a new freight - car was developed. Before, coiled - steel rolls were often transported in specially equipped gondola cars. In the 1960s, a lighter car type emerged for hauling steel coils in an integral trough. Over 17,000 of these cars were built. Atlas' model replicates a 42' design with a unique fishbelly side sill. Key features include crisp painting and lettering, see - through walks, a removable hood, and detailed inside floor.

Using your Atlas N Scale 42' Coil Steel Car is simple. You can place it on your N - scale train track just like any other car in your collection. When you set it up, make sure it's properly aligned on the track to avoid derailment. As for the removable hood, you can take it off to show the inside floor detail or put it back on for a different look. For maintenance, gently clean the car with a soft, dry cloth to keep the crisp painting and lettering looking good. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish. Also, check the see - through walks regularly to ensure they're clear and in good condition. When storing the car, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
