Trinity 53' "RAF33" 3-Unit Spine Car
- The Prototype
Spine cars are one of the most recognizable freight cars on the rails
today. Named after their simple, spine-like appearance, these versatile
cars carry anything from highway trailers, to international, corrugated
containers.
- The Models
This is our first release of the common 3-Car Set! Like the 5-Unit set,
this project started with actual blueprints and measurements; the
result is 100% authentic dimensions. Furthermore, like the prototype,
the N Scale models were designed for versatility.
The models
feature a die-cast metal frame and dozens of separately applied plastic
and etched-metal components. From there, each car is painted to exact
TTX yellow and lettered as appropriate for the RAF33 3-car fleet.
These cars ride on our
all-new 70-Ton ASF Ride Control truck with
fine-scale metal wheels! On top of that, the cars feature
body
mounted Micro-Trains couplers! You can bet that empty or loaded,
these cars will track, and look great as they glide down your rails.
