Some folks call them cars, others refer to these by car type. Rolling Stock is any type of railroad car that runs on a train. Whether it's used for carrying freight like a tank car, or moving passengers from one destination to the next in a coach, it all falls under the broad category of Rolling Stock.

We offer a great variety of Trainline Rolling Stock. These cars have all been upgraded with RP-25 metal wheels which means Trainline cars operate reliably and run smoothly for hours and hours of operating fun!
