* New Roadnumbers
* Includes Realistic Load
* Factory Assembled
Introduced in 1940, these 70-ton capacity cars were designed to haul structural steel, and had drop ends to accommodate loads exceeding the interior length. In service, the cars were put to work handling steel, machinery, pipe, lumber, auto frames, coal, stone and similar loads. Gons led hard lives, but some remained in service until the 1980s.
A great addition to your freight car fleet, the kits now include a realistic load of Ductwork, a Large Gear or a long Riveted Girder. Each piece is highly detailed and the gear and girder also include bracing to secure them in the car. Like the prototype, the ends can be positioned up or down.
