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: Railroads are called upon to move all kinds of loads, many of which are big and heavy. When presented with this type of loading, a depressed center flat car is often used. As the name implies, the center is lower than the ends to provide additional clearance for the load when moving under bridges or other obstructions. To spread the weight and increased the carrying capacity of the car, additional trucks may be used, such as the four-truck design which serves as the prototype for this kit. It is similar to cars used by many roads, and has been carefully engineered so it can operate on almost any size layout. The Cornerstone Series(R) Transformer (933-3126) is an

Features: * When large and heavy loads such as machinery or construction equipment must be moved long distances, railroad flat cars are often the best way to transport them. If the load will clear bridges and similar overhead obstructions, it can be carried on a heavy-duty, straight-deck flat car. Designed with a load limit (combined weight of the car and cargo) of 240 tons or more, these cars are easily identified by the pair of high-capacity trucks at each end and the large, flat center deck. Each pair of trucks is connected by a span bolster, which pivots on the bolster located on the body. This spreads the weight over eight axles to help prevent overloading. The overal

Features: * Although wood chips are one of the lightest loads carried by rail, they require one of the biggest cars! Third in size behind modern auto racks and high-cube box cars, these giant hoppers were introduced by Greenville Steel Car in the early 1970s. Standing just over 16' tall, these monsters dwarfed every other car on the rails except auto racks and high-cube box cars. Those big side walls required a lot of bracing for support, and each panel was embossed for added strength. Still going strong today, they're especially common on southern lines where wood chips are now preferred over pulpwood as the primary raw material for making paper. * Faithful reproductions

Features: * From 1925 to the late 1960s, B60b baggage cars could be found on the head-end of many trains. While it was a distinctly Pennsy design, the cars were part of the Railway Express Agency pool and were frequent visitors on railroads all over America, moving bulk mail and express shipments. Some were equipped as messenger cars, with facilities for a rider to accompany a shipment in transit, and were identified by a 6" gold star above the car number. * These models are a quick and easy way to add color to passenger trains from your favorite era, and the smaller length of just 60' is ideal for any size layout. Models include the correct balloon-style roof, detailed bo
