CN 52' WHEEL CAR #49435

Canadian National #49435
52' Wheel Flatcar with Wheel load

With the friction created with steel rolling on steel, wheels on locomotives and rolling stock periodically need to be replaced. When being delivered by rail, new wheels are typically transported on flatcars that have been built or modified for this specific purpose. The Bachmann 52' wheel flatcar represents examples of this car found from the 1950's through the early 2000's, the prototypes of which were modified from earlier general-use flatcars. Features of the model include newly tooled transport rack and load of seperate wheelsets, all finished with authentic oxide brown.
