One of the most overlooked, yet common loads carried by North American railroads is finished wood products! We are proud to introduce the HO Scale NSC 73’ Centerbeam Car. Over 20,000 examples of this car were produced by National Steel Car, between 1987 through the mid-2000s, with some car variations along the way.  

Whenever you see a general merchandise freight pass by you, there’s a high probability that you will see at least four or more centerbeams mixed in. Have you taken notice of the roadnames/ownership of those cars? Centerbeams are unique in that they are owned by large Class I railroads, leasing companies and smaller shortlines. The wood industry is so lucrative that even our new run of the HO Scale 73’ NSC Centerbeam is no stranger to a wide variety of roadnames!

The Rapido Trains N Scale 73’ NSC Centerbeam  features:

  • Two top truss configurations; early Z pattern and standard closed pattern with tie-down brackets
  • Two deck configurations; early with risers and mid without risers
  • Two underbody configurations
  • Multiple brake stand options
