If you want to add more realism, you can purchase the Cornerstone Steel Coil Load (#933 - 1499) separately and place it in the V - shaped load cradle on the car. When it comes to running the train, the heavy die - cast metal frame and 100 - ton roller - bearing trucks ensure smooth performance. For maintenance, keep the car clean. You can use a soft brush to remove dust from the etched metal walkways, grab irons, and other details. Also, check the Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers regularly to make sure they are working properly. If you notice any parts are loose or damaged, it's best to replace them as soon as possible to keep your coil car in top condition.
