Custom built O scale model of the GEX 40005 depressed center flatcar:

 

This O scale model railcar has 12 axles with a scale length of 88 feet over the couplers. The model is 22 inches long over the couplers. The depressed center "well hole" portion of the model is a scale 34 feet long. An O scale model transformer load (not shown) mounts in the "well hole" of the flatcar.

 

The original GEX 40005 is a 12 axle railcar that has a load limit of 733,000 pounds. The prototype depressed center flatcar has a "well hole" which allows for mounting tall oversize loads.

 

The GEX 40005 depressed center flatcar wheel pattern is shown below.
