Cool Cars for 90s & Later Container Trains
Thrall introduced a new five-unit articulated well car in 1983, equipped
with interbox connectors (IBCs) to lock containers on the car using the
four corner castings. By the late 1980s, longer 45 and 48' containers were
in service, and the design was again reworked to accommodate these heavier
loads in the middle wells. The latest version (which is the prototype for
this kit) has additional reinforcements and IBCs to carry everything from a
pair of 20' container up to a single 48' container in any of the wells.
These ready-to-run models feature authentically painted die-cast metal
bodies for maximum weight and performance. Cars come equipped with
free-rolling trucks and standard N Scale couplers.
