Among the unusual loads moved by railroads are large steel coils used to
make automobile bodies, appliances and other products. Because of their
size (6 to 10' in diameter) and weight, coils are more easily shipped by
rail than by truck.
Classified as both gondolas and flat cars, coil cars feature a "V"-shaped
cradle in place of the usual floor. On the prototypes, adjustable retainers
hold the coils in place and a cushion underframe helps prevent end-to-end
load shifting. Removable hoods protect the coils from the weather.
This HO Scale Gold Line freight car comes fully assembled and includes a
complete set of add-on wire grab irons; molded drill starter points on the
body simplify installation. McHenry(R) near-scale working knuckle couplers
and free-rolling trucks with RP-25 metal wheelsets round out each car.
