Introduction

Bachmann 12927 HO Scale 52′ Centerbeam Flatcar Northern Pacific NP 67022

Center-beam cars are specialty cars designed for hauling building supplies such as cut wood, lumber, or drywall sheets. Using the same basic structure as bulkhead flatcars, center-beam cars are reinforced with additional central supports for the side-loading of bulk materials. Four new paint schemes and road numbers arrive in this run, featuring newly tooled prototypical “wrapped” lumber loads.

FEATURES:

• Separately applied bulkheads and stake assembly
• Removable “wrapped” lumber load
• Detailed underframe
• Separately applied brake wheel
• Magnetically operated E-Z Mate Mark II couplers
• Blackened metal wheels with RP25 contours
