GUARANTEED DELIVERY
As deposits of high grade iron ore were exhausted, the steel industry turned to more abundant, but less concentrated iron taconite deposits. From the 1920's on, these types of cars have been used in the transport of taconite iron ore. Often seen in long unit trains, these cars are available in both a single road number and four 4-Packs to allow the modeler to build an entire train, or add to an existing one.
This release includes six schemes, each with a single road number and three different 4-Packs.
Features:
- Fully assembled and ready for your layout
- Upgraded tooling include new wire and plastic handrails, stirrup steps, ladders and underbody details
- Removable ore load in each car
- Machined metal wheels
- McHenry scale knuckle spring couplers installed
- A total of 13 different road numbers available for each road name
