Marine Industries Bulkhead Flatcar: BCR – Dark Green Scheme #866568

Rapido Trains Inc. is proud to offer another Ultimate Canadian freight car!
This beauty is the first accurate model of a Canadian 66ft bulkhead flatcar ever produced. For years Canadian modellers have had to put up with American prototype cars painted to represent these classic cars, but no more!  Our HO model is based on cars that were built in huge quantities in the 1970s to early 1980s, and will be right at home on any layout based from the late 1973s to today.  This car design is a true work horse of the industry…. Loaded with everything from finished wood, building materials, sheet steel, pipe, structural steel, heavy equipment. These cars have been fitted with log bunks, stake sides for moving coils of wire, and canvas tops to protect cargo and many have rebuilt to center beam style cars.

The Canadian 66’ Bulkhead Flatcar features:

• Three different bulkhead variations
• Laser-cut wood deck (two styles)
• Four different jack pad styles
• Two different end sills
• Etched metal bulkhead end sheet
• Etched metal: deck, tiedown loops and cross over end platform
• Separate grab irons installed at the factory
• 100-ton Barber S-2-c trucks, with metal wheels
• Rapido metal knuckle couplers
