ATLAS 50005718 48' Cushion Coil Car - C&NW Chicago & North Western #39544 N Scale

The ATLAS 50005718 48' Cushion Coil Car, designed for the C&NW Chicago & North Western #39544 in N Scale, is a remarkable model. In the early 1960s, Evans Products recognized the need for specialized cars to transport coiled steel. Back then, existing cars were often 70 - ton specially - equipped mill gondolas. The new coil - steel cars had a 100 - ton capacity, built with a trough frame and body. The designs were refined in the 1960s, and a 48 - foot length became the standard by Evans, with production lasting into the 1970s. This Atlas 48 - foot coil steel car is based on the 1967 Evans design and can also stand in for 1970s cars. It features a die - cast body for durability, crisp painting and lettering for an authentic look, two removable rounded hoods with stacking frames, and a detailed wood - lined trough floor.

Using this ATLAS N Scale 48 - Foot Cushion Coil Car is easy. Just place it on your N - scale train track as part of your train set. When you want to access the inside of the car, simply remove the two rounded hoods. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent rusting. If the car gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the body. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the paint and lettering. When handling, be careful with the removable hoods and stacking frames to prevent them from breaking. Have fun adding this great - looking car to your train collection!
