Castings offered a 60-ton well car in its product line of one
piece cast steel car bodies in 1958. The buyer railroads purchased
the components and assembled the cars in their own shops.
The body
and detail parts are injection molded plastic, while the well
and underframe are diecast. Intricate and accurate detail includes
a free-standing vertical brakewheel. These cars ride at the
prototypically-correct height, with the well a mere ten scale
inches above the rails. The model rides on Atlas' Barber S-2
friction-bearing truck frames fitted with Fox Valley Models
28" low-profile wheelsets, and features body-mounted Micro-Trains®
#2001/2004 couplers.
Operation of this model over curved trackage of less than 10-inch
radius is not recommended.
