Note that the picture might show a different road number. The growth in coiled steel transportation led to the creation of this purpose - built freight car. Before, coiled - steel rolls usually traveled in specially equipped gondola cars. In the 1960s, a lighter car type for hauling steel coils in an integral trough emerged and became very popular, with over 17,000 cars built. Atlas' model replicates a 42' design with a unique fishbelly side sill. Key features include crisp painting and lettering, see - through walks, a removable hood, and detailed inside floor.

Using this Atlas coil steel car is easy. Just place it on your N scale track and let it roll along with your other train cars. When it comes to handling, be gentle when removing the hood to avoid any damage. Keep it away from rough surfaces to prevent scratches on the crisply painted and lettered body. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the outside of the car and the see - through walks. If there's dust inside, carefully blow it out or use a small, soft brush. Store the car in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
