North American Railcar Corporation N Scale 4000cf Canadian Coal Gondola Customer Review & Article

Just Like This Train, Many Gondolas Are Moving!

Most of the N Scale versions of these cars are now in stock and shipping. The response to the N Scale cars has been very positive with many new orders coming in after modelers have seen the finished cars. We thought we share what one of our customers said about the N Scale cars:

"Dear PWRS
 
I received my order this morning and I have to say I'm very much impressed with the quality of the cars. As you can see in the attached photos I've already fabricated a removable tie load for the cars.

Cheers
 
Paul"

Below are the pictures he sent in:


As you can see, besides having one heck of a nice looking layout, this customer has some great looking cars. Keep in mind these are the N Scale version. As is evident, we have made every attempt to add unprecedented levels of details to these cars. We are confident modelers who have waited for these cars to arrive will be very satisfied with them.

Now, while the N Scale cars are in stock and shipping, please enjoy some videos of the real cars in action:

Both videos above show not only the large number of cars used in typical unit trains, but also the mix of large numbers of many of the versions of the cars used together. This makes for an interesting, visually distinctive aspect to both trains. This can easily be accomplished with our models by mixing and matching the various version being offered in this release.

Wondering How These Cars Are Used In Real Life?

We have an article we would like to share put together By Norm Skretting with model photos by Timothy J. Horton titled: "Canadian National Coal & Sulphur Operations In The Alberta Foothills", a PDF of the article can be downloaded HERE.

MagnaLock Brake Lines Update:

While it was too late to add MagnaLock Brake Lines to these cars, many modelers are planning on adding them after they receive the cars. We are testing the N Scale version as quickly as possible. With the extremely high demand, we will not be able to fill all orders for some time. PORTERS Members receive priority on orders to be filled and all PORTERS Member orders will be filled before non-PORTERS Members. We took some of our HO Scale production samples and added the MagnaLock Brake Lines to see how they look. Watching the video below, we think you will agree they look pretty nice:

An Important Note To All Modelers:

We have limited numbers of unsold cars still available for order. If you are interested in ordering these cars, or increasing your existing orders, please do so immediately. Orders will be filled on a first come, first served basis. We have had a surge in orders for these cars since  they came into stock and waiting may mean not getting the cars you want.
