Atlas
Atlas N Cushion Coil Car, UP/CNW #249005 (ATL50004656)
UNION PACIFIC
In the early Sixties, Evans Products saw a need for specialized cars to transport coiled steel.
The existing cars at the time were often 70-ton specially equipped mill gondolas. The new commodity-specific coil-steel car were built with a 100-ton capacity using a trough frame and body. The early designs were refined during the 1960s and eventually Evans adopted a 48-foot length as standard. Production lasted well into the 1970s. The Atlas 48-foot coil steel car is based on the Evans design of 1967 as well as being a close stand-in for the 1970s cars.
Features:
Die-cast body
Crisp painting and lettering
Two removable rounded hoods with stacking frames
Detailed wood lined trough floor
N Scale
