Tangent - HO Scale - GSC 60 ft Flat Car w/Bulkheads - Great Northern (GN) #160013 - Big Sky Blue w/White Lettering 1969 V2 Rebuild Scheme (SKU 20009-11052-01)
Available On: June 1, 2018
General Steel Castings introduced their 60 ft bulkhead flatcar in 1956. A car of tremendous versatility, these served nationwide in service on many railroads. The sturdy cast steel frame construction of these cars allowed them to be used in a multitude of services including lumber, wallboard, poles, and heavy equipment services and many others. GSC, located in Granite City IL, supplied either complete cars or cast steel flatcar bodies to various railroads. Railroads that elected to purchase only the bodies would then equip the cars with components preferred for projected service.
Great Northern (GN) “1969 Rebuild” is a Big Sky Blue standout. This classic paint scheme is back by popular demand, this time with a variation of the lettering layout. This version has ever-so-slightly different placement of the white delineators, GREAT NORTHERN and other lettering — all based on prototype photos, of course. Have some variety in your fleet!
