Description
The Atlas 50006769 is an N scale 42-foot coil steel car in Grand Trunk Western paint (CN's U.S. Midwest subsidiary), road number GTW #187441 — second of three coil steel cars in this run.
Prototype. GTW's 187000-series Trinity-built 42-foot coil cars haul steel coils on edge in a recessed center trough, with removable hooded panels protecting the load. The full Atlas run of #187411 / #187441 / #187482 lets you build a clean three-car block — the smallest meaningful unit of coil-car service, since coil-car movements typically run in dedicated blocks rather than mixed singletons. Coil cars feed Detroit, Lordstown, and other U.S. auto-plant destinations off the Stelco / Dofasco / Algoma steel mills in Ontario.
Build features. Crisp painting, see-through walks, removable hood with interior floor detail visible, body-mounted AccuMate® couplers, 100-ton roller-bearing trucks.
