Shipping lumber by train is a breeze for your HO railroad with Walthers' 72' Centerbeam Flatcars! These flatcars entered service in the 1980s, designed to speed up loading and unloading, and quickly became a hit among shippers and customers. The models are based on earlier cars with oval cut - outs on the centerbeam to reduce weight and are still in use by many railroads and lumber producers. Key features include: a one - time run of these road numbers (limited quantity, order now), prototypes in service since the 1980s, 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). Note: Picture may show a different road number.

Using this Walthers 72' Centerbeam Flatcar for your HO railroad is easy. First, if you want to load it, you can purchase the SceneMaster Wrapped Lumber Loads separately from our site and load them onto the flatcar in just minutes. When using it on your railroad track, thanks to the heavy die - cast metal underframe, it should track nicely. Just make sure your track is clean and in good condition. As for maintenance, keep the wheels clean. You can use a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris from the 36' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets. Also, check the Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers regularly to ensure they are working properly. Since these road numbers are a one - time run and in limited quantity, make sure to handle the flatcar with care to avoid any damage.
