Shipping lumber by train on your HO railroad is a breeze with a fleet of WaltherMainline 72' Centerbeam Flatcars. These cars, designed for fast loading and unloading, entered service in the 1980s and became a hit with shippers and customers. These well - detailed models are based on earlier cars with oval cut - outs on the centerbeam to reduce weight, still used by many railroads and lumber producers. Key features include: a one - time run of these road numbers (limited quantity, order now), prototypes in service from the 1980s to present, a heavy die - cast metal underframe for great tracking, correct 36' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets, Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers, and you can load model cars in minutes with SceneMaster Wrapped Lumber Loads (sold separately, search 72' centerbeam load on our site).

Using this Walthers 72' Centerbeam Flatcar in your HO scale railroad is simple. First, if you want to load it, you can buy the SceneMaster Wrapped Lumber Loads separately from our site and load the car in just a few minutes. When setting it on the tracks, the heavy die - cast metal underframe helps it track well. Just make sure to handle it gently to avoid damaging the Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers. Since it's a limited - quantity one - time run of this road number, if you like it, order soon. For maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down regularly. The 36' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets don't need special care, but if they seem to have trouble moving, a little bit of light lubricant can be used. This flatcar has been in service as a prototype from the 1980s to now, so it's a reliable addition to your railroad collection.
