Atlas 50004882 42' Coil Steel Car IHB - Indiana Harbor Belt #166618 (Ex-NS, red, gray) N Scale

Atlas presents the 50004882 42' Coil Steel Car for the Indiana Harbor Belt, numbered #166618. This N Scale model, previously from NS, comes in striking red and gray. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The growing demand for coiled steel transport led to the creation of a specialized freight car. Before, coiled steel was often transported in specially fitted gondola cars. In the 1960s, a lighter car type emerged to carry steel coils in an integrated trough. This car type became very popular, with over 17,000 units built. Atlas' model replicates a 42' design with a unique fishbelly side sill. It features sharp painting and lettering, see-through walks, a removable hood, and detailed inside floor.

Using this Atlas N Scale 42' Coil Steel Car is easy. You can place it on your N Scale train track just like any other car. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any damage to the crisp painting and lettering. The removable hood allows you to peek inside and check out the detailed floor. If you want to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid using any harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to keep its colors vibrant. And remember, the picture might show a different road number, so don't be surprised if yours looks a bit different in that regard.
