ATLAS 50005713 48' Cushion Coil Car - CR - Conrail w NS Hood #628345 N Scale

The ATLAS 50005713 48' Cushion Coil Car in N Scale is a great addition for model train enthusiasts. In the early 1960s, Evans Products recognized the need for specialized cars to transport coiled steel. The existing cars then were often 70 - ton specially - equipped mill gondolas, while the new coil - steel cars had a 100 - ton capacity with a trough frame and body. The design was refined in the 1960s, and a 48 - foot length became standard by Evans. Production lasted into the 1970s. This Atlas car is based on the 1967 Evans design and is a good stand - in for 1970s cars. It features a die - cast body, crisp painting and lettering, two removable rounded hoods with stacking frames, and a detailed wood - lined trough floor. (Picture may show a different road number).

Using this ATLAS 48' Cushion Coil Car is easy. Just place it on your N - scale model train track and enjoy the detailed design. When handling the car, be gentle with the two removable rounded hoods to avoid damage. If you want to clean the car, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and lettering. For the wood - lined trough floor, you can use a small brush to remove dust. Store the car in a dry place away from direct sunlight to keep the paint and details in good condition.
