Scale Trains coils

Scale Trains sells the N scale coil loads that came with the 48 foot cars. They come in a four pack and are $9.99 a pack. I believe they are the best looking coils I have ever seen.

The link that was added is for the wrapped coils, The coils that come with the 48 foot cars are banded. The detail on them are much better than the wrapped coils.

I believe the first link is for the unwrapped coils appropriate to the 48' model (despite the wording in the URL).  The second link is for the wrapped coils shipped with the 42' cars (but not due to arrive until mid-2024).  If you have a better link, please provide it.

I'm not aware of any good still photos, but there are two nice video reviews of the coil cars and the coils.  The 48' cars:
