Atlas 50004890 42' Coil Steel Car NS - Norfolk Southern #165922 (gray, blue, red, Protect III) N Scale

The Atlas 50004890 42' coil steel car, modeled after Norfolk Southern #165922, comes in N scale. The picture might show a different road number. As the demand for coiled steel transportation grew, a new type of freight car was designed. Before, coiled steel rolls were often transported in specially - equipped gondola cars. In the 1960s, a lighter car for hauling steel coils in an integral trough emerged. This car type became very popular, with over 17,000 built. Atlas' model replicates a 42' 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 N scale Atlas coil steel car is easy. Just place it on your model train track as part of your train setup. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any damage to the fine details like the painting and lettering. To clean the car, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a mild soap solution, but make sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading. Also, keep it out of reach of small children as some parts might be a choking hazard.
