ScaleTrains 39265 N Scale Thrall-Trinity 42′ Steel Coil Car CIGX 803032

In the mid 1990s. Thrall Car Manufacturing introduced the 42′ coil steel car. This car shared many traits common to other Thrall built coil steel cars. including the basic body construction and jack pad design. The big difference with this version of the Thrall design was the fact that it was shorter and only had one hood. In 2001. Thrall Car Manufacturing was purchased by Trinity Industries and with this purchase. Trinity continued to build these same cars. The latest cars were delivered in 2012. The Trinity built cars have some detail differences from the Thrall built cars by adding a separate handrail to the ends of the car body and moving the end railings off the ends of the hood. These cars can be seen in singles or small groups roaming all over the country.
