According to my LHS the Atlas O coil cars are in the shop for delivery!! I can not wait to get my hands on these, as this is what I do for a living loading railroad cars & semis with steel coils. Talk about right at home!!

jjames9641,

The Atlas 'O' coil cars look beautiful, but from your professional experience and knowledge are they prototypical?

Thank you,

Hi Ralph,

I do not have one in front of me just yet, I am hoping to possibly pick them up from my LHS in the next couple of days. I did buy the Atlas HO version of one of these cars, and yes they are like the real cars. When I get my hands on the O gauge version I will post some comments on the forum about them.

Thanks, Jeff

What would NOT be prototypical? They looked awesome at O scale national!

They are based on the National Steel Car Covered Coil Cars.

the RAILCAR SHOW ROOM has the images of the NSC coil car that the Atlas O car is bassed upon.

It is a real car that is on the rails in large numbers today.
