Oh absolutely, I see them quite a bit. But it seems like everyone and their brother is coming out with coil cars right now.

It is. The N scale flyer says $44.99 for singles and $129.99 for the 3 pack. The $64.99 is the HO single car price. The other is a typo...

That coil car is not something that I need, but I’m not too upset.  That’s because I just preordered two HO scale Atlantic Coast Line F-units in the purple and silver scheme that Athearn Genesis announced yesterday. 😀

I've seen a lot of these when out railfanning.

Hopefully it'll be a hit for them.

I wish it were an older car, but I've got no sour grapes. I should be sinking my budget into signal system stuff anyway.

The description indicates that the cover is insulated.  I don't immediately understand why steel would need that type of thermal protection.   Does anyone know?

Glad to see somebody making them finally. Been seeing them a lot while railfanning the past few years.

It's to prevent condensation from forming in the car and causing the steel to rust.

It's an excellent choice imo... I do not need any, too new.


And with Atlas GP40-2W hitting the streets recently and Rapido's recent N scale announcements I need a break, lol.
