Prototype Overview:
One of the most overlooked, yet common loads carried by North American railroads is finished wood products! We are proud to introduce the HO Scale NSC 73’ Centerbeam Car. Over 20,000 examples of this car were produced by National Steel Car, between 1987 through the mid-2000s, with some car variations along the way.
Whenever you see a general merchandise freight pass by you, there’s a high probability that you will see at least four or more centerbeams mixed in. Have you taken notice of the roadnames/ownership of those cars? Centerbeams are unique in that they are owned by large Class I railroads, leasing companies and smaller shortlines.
