Product Information:
These models feature diecast floors for superior tracking and plastic sides, ends, draft gear, body bolsters and additional brake gear. The cars come standard with our metal wheels and magnetically operating knuckle couplers.
The Lightly Dented versions have multiple deflections in the side sheets above the floor line. The Medium Dented versions have the side sheets visibly puffed outward between the rivet lines as countless small dings to the inside faces accumulated and stretched the sheets into rough domes. The Heavily Dented versions also have the puffed out panels but to a greater extent – plus many of the ribs have also been deflected outward. The concave dent detail on the inside faces matches the convex outside faces.
Car ends and brake equipment vary based on prototype. Interiors have a rust effect finish. Each road name will be available in 6 road numbers – 2 each of lightly dented, medium dented and heavily dented versions. Minimum Radius: 9.75”
Burlington Northern inherited this fleet of mill gons from predecessor Chicago Burlington & Quincy. We present them here in the original Cascade Green paint scheme with the large BN “wrenches” logos, ACI tags and 2-box format consolidated stencils. The cars were equipped with fixed Dreadnaught ends, Ajax brake housings and IP80 brakewheels.
