General Steel Castings (GSC), formed in 1928 by major industry players, became a top producer of railroad castings after acquiring Commonwealth Steel in 1929. In 1961, it changed to General Steel Industries (GSI). In 1956, GSC introduced the 60' flatcar, a long - serving workhorse bought by many railroads. It could be bought as a complete car or a kit, and was used to haul a wide range of goods like lumber, poles, and military equipment. Many are still in use today. This flatcar is ready - to - run and features a die - cast metal frame, fine - scale details, a prototypical ride height, BLMA 70 - Ton ASF Ride Control Trucks, BLMA Low Profile 33″ Metal Wheels, and body - mounted brown knuckle couplers.

Using this N scale flatcar is easy. Just place it on your model railroad tracks and start using it to transport various items. Since it's ready - to - run, you don't have to do any complex setup. When handling it, be gentle to avoid damaging the fine - scale details and the body - mounted couplers. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels and trucks. Clean the wheels with a soft cloth to ensure smooth movement on the tracks. If the couplers seem loose or aren't working properly, you can carefully adjust them. Store the flatcar in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any color fading or damage to the metal parts.
