Features: * 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. Weight is also a factor, so load limits (combined weight of the car and cargo) approach 200 tons. The car itself is made of high-strength, low-alloy steels to conserve weight, which is spr

Features: * Over half of all new autos make their first long trip by train, riding in enclosed tri-level auto rack cars. Since autos are smaller and shorter than trucks or vans, the third deck increases carrying capacity; usually 15 mid-size or 18 compact cars make up a full load. As some of the longest and tallest equipment in operation, tunnels, bridges or other obstructions can present routing problems that require detours. To avoid this, a modified tri-level design was introduced in the mid 1970s. The 89' flat car that carries the rack is a special low-level car, easily identified by the side-sill cut outs that provide left and right side clearance for the trucks. In p

Features: * Build Head-end Traffic on your HO Passenger Trains. * By 1946, the Army's special troop sleepers were no longer needed and were offered for sale. Affordably priced and originally based on standard box car designs, they required only minor modification for civilian use as 50' box cars. But since they were equipped for high-speed passenger service, they could easily be converted to other roles. * Many were remodeled with plated-over windows and vents, new side doors and a fresh coat of paint. In service, they handled baggage, mail and express shipments. Many led long lives, remaining in use until the late 1960s with a few running on work trains into the 1980s. *

Features: * An industry standard since the 1930s, the 3-bay hopper was adopted as an AAR recommended design. Although offering greater carrying capacity than flat-sided cars, the joints were easily damaged by sulfuric acid (created by wet coal), and the cars fell out of favor by the mid-1950s as repair costs mounted. * Cars feature: * True scale dimensions with accurate details * Weighted, detailed underframes * Equipped with AccuMate(R) Knuckle Couplers * Trucks equipped with free-rolling metal wheels * Accurate painting and lettering.
