* Diecast Metal Body for Optimum Performance
* Accurate Replica of Cars Currently in Service
* Authentic Lower Center Deck & Other Details
When large and heavy loads need to be moved long distances railroads are
often the best choice for the job. These loads are often tall enough that
they wouldn't pass safely under bridges or other obstacles if carried on
conventional flat cars. To provide extra clearance, railroads use
heavy-duty, depressed center flat cars. The lower center deck provides
several inches of extra clearance, and since the cargo does not have to be
lifted as high, loading and unloading is easier.
Fully assembled and ready for service, this Gold Line HO model features a
diecast metal body, metal RP-25 wheels, McHenry® knuckle couplers for
outstanding performance. Many of the prototypes for this car are still in
service handling power transformers and other loads, so they'll look great
on your modern-era layout.
