Also available as a six-pack of all six numbers (item 1024005).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanadian National and Canadian Pacific took their first 89' autoracks in 1962 — Whitehead \u0026amp; Kales racks on National Steel Car flats from Hamilton, Ontario — and the bi-level version followed in 1964 to carry light trucks and utility vehicles, with further orders through 1970 (202 for CP, 125 for CN). Open-design cars with safety screens, many ran well into the early 2000s carrying modern vehicles, so they suit layouts set anywhere from the mid-1960s to the 2000s. This is the first time the NSC 89' autorack has been offered as a highly detailed ready-to-run plastic model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly tooled from original National Steel Car blueprints and measurements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull underbody detail and air-line piping; separate metal grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched-metal safety mesh screens on appropriate cars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-scale metal knuckle couplers; free-rolling trucks with profiled metal wheelsets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuggested minimum radius 22\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45399701455030,"sku":"1024005A","price":96.56,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/5131\/1286\/files\/rapido-nsc-89ft-bi-level-autorack-canadian-national-delivery_60637381-bb9d-4184-ab79-cc97e65ce57b.jpg?v=1788368650","url":"https:\/\/oakvillemodeltrains.com\/products\/rapido-1024005a-ho-scale-nsc-89-bi-level-open-autorack-canadian-national-delivery-single-car","provider":"Oakville Model Trains Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
