MTH 30-76652 O Gauge RailKing Flat Car - w/Bulkheads & Lumber Load

Built for loads that comprise a large number of heavy pieces, bulkhead flat cars provide the security of strong end walls to prevent a load from shifting. Common cargos include utility poles, structural steel, pipe, steel plate, and packaged lumber. Our modern-era model features roller-bearing trucks and a removable load simulating dozens of packages of lumber, colorfully shrink-wrapped to advertise the lumber company that produced them.

Did you know? Because of their light weight, empty bulkhead flats are often restricted to a train speed of 50 mph. Above that speed, "hunting" can occur, in which the car's trucks wobble side to side and could possibly derail.

High quality, traditionally sized RailKing Freight Cars provide detailed bodies and colorful paint schemes for the O Gauge railroader. MTH makes an enormous variety of RailKing Freight Cars, including many different car types and roadnames. No matter what era or part of the country you are modeling, RailKing is sure to have something for you.
