Atlas 50004887 42' Coil Steel Car Inland Steel 20135 (black, No Cover) N Scale

Atlas presents the 50004887 N Scale model of a 42-foot coil steel car from Inland Steel 20135. It comes in a sleek black color and has no cover. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The rise in coiled steel transportation led to the creation of a new purpose-built freight car. Before, coiled steel rolls usually traveled in specially equipped gondola cars. In the 1960s, a lighter car type emerged for hauling steel coils in an integral trough. This car type became very popular, and over 17,000 were built. Atlas' model replicates a 42-foot design with a unique fishbelly side sill. Key features include sharp painting and lettering, see-through walks, a removable hood, and detailed inside floor.

Using this Atlas N scale coil steel car model is easy. Just place it on your N scale train track and it's ready to roll. When handling, be gentle to avoid any damage to the delicate parts like the see - through walks and the removable hood. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the car regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint and lettering. Store the car in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any warping or other damage.
