This is a Walthers 932-40535 HO Scale Data Only Gold Line Michigan-Style Taconite Ore Car (Set of 12). These specialized cars were built especially for the ore docks of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and were taller and narrower than those found in Minnesota. But as easily mined deposits of high-grade iron ore played out in the 1950s, the industry shifted to production of taconite pellets. Lighter than natural ores, more could be carried per car. Many older cars were then rebuilt for taconite loading with short side and end extensions to increase carrying capacity. Run in solid trains from mines to ore docks, these models come in 12-packs with different car numbers to make building a fleet fast and easy. Features include RP-25 metal wheels, multiple car numbers, correct 5′ wheelbase trucks, Proto MAX(TM) all-metal knuckle couplers on end cars and fixed knuckle couplers on intermediate cars.
