HO Greenbrier Coil Car, Norfolk Southern – (NS / Black) 2022+ #162178

Throughout history, transporting steel coils has been a staple of the rail industry. These rolled steel sheets have been transported by all sorts of gondolas or specialized railcars. The Transverse Coil Car is Greenbrier’s answer to the coil steel railcar market. This five-trough coil gondola can house up to five rolled steel coils in various sizes, reducing the number of trucks on highways carrying multiple smaller steel coils. As of mid-2024, Greenbrier has produced over 2,500 of these cars with more on the way. Rapido is proud to offer this modern car full of details, taken right off of the original drawings! You’ll want a fleet of these small but important coil cars operating on your layout!
