Atlas N Scale 42' Steel Coil Car CSX/Grey (Long Hood, No Markings) #494777

The increased volume of coiled steel transportation gave rise to a new purpose-built freight car. Previously rolls of coiled-steel had generally traveled in specially equipped Gondola Cars. In the 1960’s a lighter type of car emerged specifically for hauling coils of steel in an integral trough. The car type gained popularity and eventually over 17,000 cars were built. Atlas’ model replicates a 42’ design with a distinctive fishbelly side sill. Features: • Prototypical painting and lettering • See-through walks • Removable hood • Inside floor detail
