Description
The Atlas 50006770 is an N scale 42-foot coil steel car in Grand Trunk Western paint (CN's U.S. Midwest subsidiary), road number GTW #187482 — third of three coil steel cars in this run, completing the matched three-car block.
Prototype. GTW #187411 / #187441 / #187482 are sequential road numbers within the GTW 187000-series Trinity-built 42-foot coil-car fleet. In real service, coil cars travel in dedicated blocks between steel mill and auto plant — a single coil-car movement is rare; a three-to-six car block is the norm. Running all three Atlas numbers together replicates a typical small block of GTW coil cars on a CN-to-Detroit or CN-to-Lordstown auto-steel train.
Build features. Crisp painting and lettering, see-through walks, removable hood with interior floor detail, body-mounted AccuMate® couplers, 100-ton roller-bearing trucks. Hood comes off cleanly for loading detailed coil loads, then snaps back into place for running.
