Rapido presents the HO Scale NSC 73’ Centerbeam Flatcar for the Mississippi Delta (MSDR) #20011. The picture might show a different road number. Finished wood products are a common yet often overlooked load on North American railroads. That's why we're excited to introduce this HO Scale car. Over 20,000 of these cars were made by National Steel Car from 1987 to the mid-2000s, with some variations. When you see general merchandise freight, you'll likely spot at least four centerbeams. These cars are unique as they're owned by large class I railroads, leasing companies, and small shortlines. Our HO Scale 73’ NSC Centerbeam fits a wide range of road names. It features multiple side sill, top truss, deck, underbody, end cage, brake stand, and truck types. It also has factory-installed rubber airhoses, see-through eroded metal crossover platforms, fully detailed underbodies, factory-installed metal grab irons and coupler lift bars, and free-rolling metal wheelsets.

Using this HO Scale Rapido NSC Centerbeam Flatcar is easy. Just place it on your model railroad track and start creating your freight train scenes. When handling the car, be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate parts like the grab irons and coupler lift bars. To maintain it, keep it in a dry and dust - free place. You can use a soft brush to clean the car from time to time to remove any dust that may have settled on it. Check the wheelsets regularly to ensure they roll freely. If the car gets dirty, you can use a mild soap and water solution to clean it, but make sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards.
