Update:
After being told by Atlas last year that these Coil Cars were cancelled we were surprised to have received our shipment!
There are customers, who requested these cars, if you want them we have some.We are sorry for the confusion, someone at Atlas unintentionally misinformed us.
They are in extremely limited supply so anyone who wants one should order now!

The increased volume of coiled steel transportation gave rise to a new purpose-built freight car. Previously rolls of coiled-steel had generally traveled in specially equipped gondola cars. In the 1960’s a lighter type of car emerged specifically for hauling coils of steel in an integral trough. The car type gained popularity and eventually over 17,000 cars were built. Atlas’ model replicates a 42’ design with a distinctive fishbelly side sill.
