Shipping lumber by train on your HO railroad is a breeze with the WaltherMainline 72' Centerbeam Flatcars! These larger cars, introduced in the 1980s, were designed for quick loading and unloading and quickly became a hit among shippers and customers. These well - detailed models are inspired by earlier cars with oval cut - outs (known as 'opera windows') on the centerbeam to cut down on weight. They're still in use by many railroads and lumber producers. Key features include: a one - time run of these road numbers (order now as quantity is limited), prototypes in service since the 1980s, a heavy die - cast metal underframe for great tracking, correct 36' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets, Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers, and you can load model cars in minutes with SceneMaster Wrapped Lumber Loads (sold separately, search 72' centerbeam load on our site).
