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":45399702372534,"sku":"1024098","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-undecorated-brown.jpg?v=1788368749","url":"https:\/\/oakvillemodeltrains.com\/products\/rapido-1024098-ho-scale-nsc-89-bi-level-open-autorack-painted-unlettered-brown-single-car","provider":"Oakville Model Trains Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
