General Steel Castings, formed in 1928 by major industry players, became a top producer of railroad castings after acquiring Commonwealth Steel in 1929. Renamed General Steel Industries (GSI) in 1961, it remained influential in the railroad industry until the late 70s. In 1956, GSC introduced the 60' flatcar, which had a long service life and was used by many railroads. It could be bought as a complete car or a kit, and was used to haul various goods like lumber, poles, and military equipment. Many of these cars are still in use today. This ready - to - run flatcar features a die - cast metal frame, fine - scale detail, prototypical ride height, BLMA 70 - Ton ASF Ride Control Trucks, BLMA Low Profile 33″ Metal Wheels, and body - mounted brown knuckle couplers.

Using this N scale flatcar is easy. Just place it on your model train track and it's ready to go. You can couple it with other cars in your train set to create a long train. When handling the flatcar, be gentle to avoid damaging the fine - scale details. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the car and the wheels regularly. Avoid getting water or any liquid on the die - cast metal frame as it might cause rust. If you notice any loose parts, such as the couplers, handle them carefully and try to re - attach them. Keep the flatcar away from sharp objects that could scratch the paint. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to ensure its long - term durability.
