Micro-Trains - N Scale - Solar System Series - Car 08-U - Saturn - Un-Lit Version
Micro-Trains is excited to announce our newest series: the Solar System Series! This N scale series will feature nine remarkable 60 ft boxcars featuring stunning and iconic imagery of our eight planets and sun.
Included on the side of the car is a profile of each planet’s main physical characteristics along with interesting facts and a diagram showing the order and relative size of each.
Each Solar System Series car will be available with or without interior LED lighting, a feature that allows you to illuminate the planet’s image by use of a
telescope-shaped magnetic wand.
These 60’ excess height box cars with modified sides are black with yellow sides and run on Barber Roller Bearing trucks. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System. It’s a gas giant with amazing rings made of ice and rock, and an atmosphere with winds over 1,000 mph. It has over 80 moons.

These 50’ standard box cars with plug door and no roofwalk are alumunim, orange and black and run on Barber Roller Bearing trucks. Built in 1965 for D&RGW, these cars featured innovations which simplified loading and unloading, like movable bulkheads and side wall fillers, and continued to serve through the mid-1980s. They also featured hydracushion underframes, giving the car a smoother ride during rough coupling.
TTX used some of their flat cars for general purpose bulk loading of construction equipment, industrial machinery, or in this case, wrecked railcars. These cars had deck mounted pedestals and specialized retainment devices that allow railroads to safely load, transport, and unload damaged railcars and their trucks, increasing the likelihood of repair or component salvage.
Well car will come with modeled physical damage on one end. Resin chocks for trucks will come painted, but not installed. Etched-metal chain tie-downs can be cut to desired length.

This 40’ drop bottom gondola with wood chip extension is black with white lettering and runs on Bettendorf trucks. Built in 1937 as a standard service car, this 40’ gondola was later upgraded for woodchip service. The car was rebuilt and side extensions were added to accommodate the bulky but lightweight load.
This 36’ riveted steel caboose with offset cupola is orange with black letteirng and runs on Bettendorf Swing Motion trucks. Belonging to a series of 16 cars, these cabooses were unique for Milwaukee Road, being the only steel-sided units in service. Built in 1929, they lasted an exceptionally long time, and some were used through 1977 when Milwaukee filed for bankruptcy.
This 60’ excess height box car with single door and rivet sides is green with black and white lettering and runs on Barber Roller Bearing trucks. Built in 1968 for Penn Central, and used to transport bulky but relatively lightweight commodities such as household appliances, it features a cushioned underframe to reduce cargo damage. These cars also had DFB loaders and movable bulkheads to ease loading and unloading.
This 31’ bay window caboose is grey with yellow ends and black lettering and runs on Bettendorf Swing Motion trucks. Built for Baltimore & Ohio as a C-27 class car, this caboose was eventually obtained by CSX through mergers. Even though most cabooses have been retired for decades, some still have limited use on specific areas of the CSX system. This caboose was still in service in 2014.
This bay window caboose is painted CSX blue with aluminum roof, yellow ends and black band along the bottom on the sides. The herald and lettering are blue. CSX Transportation was formed on July 1, 1986 on as a renaming of the Seaboard System Railroad and Chessie System, Inc. into one entity. In the public announcement, it was said that “CSX is singularly appropriate. C for Chessie, S for Seaboard, and X, the multiplication symbol, means that together we are so much more.” The T had to be added to use CSXT as a reporting mark since company initials that end in X typically are for rental railcars.
