Center-beam cars are specially modified flatcars designed for carrying building supplies such as cut wood, lumber, or drywall sheets from manufacturer to distributor. The cars represented in this release are based on a series of modified bulkhead flatcars that were converted for lumber haulage by the addition of center posts, deck risers, and ratchet tie-downs. Our ready-to-run models feature authentic decoration for six prototypical railroads and include a range of separately applied details. All cars come factory-equipped with blackened metal wheels and body-mounted E-Z Mate® Mark II knuckle couplers.
