New ExactRail HO center-beam bulkhead flatcar features multimedia construction

摘要

An HO scale center-beam bulkhead flatcar with injection-molded plastic, etched brass, and formed wire construction is the latest offering from ExactRail. The Platinum Series model is based on a Thrall Car Manufacturing Co. prototype built in 1977. The center-beam bulkhead design proved popular with railroads, lumber companies, and receivers alike. The car has an additional 15,000 pounds of payload compared to conventional bulkhead flatcars, can be loaded or unloaded in less than 1 hour, and has cable tie-downs that do a better job of preventing load shifting.
