FreightCar America VersaCoil
| PROTOTYPE
INFORMAT |
The
purpose is in the name, VersaCoils™ are versatile coil cars;
able to carry multiple coils sizes from 30’ to 72’ in
easy to load troughs. The
transverse trough design is a departure from how steel coil cars
were originally designed with coils aligned longitudinally and held
into place with
moveable bulkheads; loading and unloading took more time and the
coils frequently incurred damage to their outer edges as they shifted
forward
and back from train slack action. The VersaCoil™ trough design
increases efficiency and safety while holding coils of all sizes
and weights. Originally these cars were constructed under the Johnstown
America Corporation name, which later rebranded as FreightCar America.
Athearn has faithfully replicated four phases of the five transverse-trough
VersaCoil™ gondolas. All cars include removable coils, detailed
underbodies, numerous separately applied details including etched
metal platforms, rubber train line hoses, coupler cut levers, and
metal grab irons,and prototype dependent will come with removable
hoods. |
