Walthers Proto 920-104523 - 50' Sieco Pulpwood Flatcar Illinois Central Gulf (ICG) 822609 - HO Scale

Based on a prototype constructed by the Southern Iron and Equipment Company (SIECO) beginning in the 1960s, these purpose-built cars served well into the 2000s hauling pulpwood between the pulp landings in the woods and the paper mills. The open cars featured a V-sloped deck and tall bulkheads at each end of the car to keep the load in place. This is a one-time run of these roadnumbers. The model features:
 

• Separately applied ladders
• Factory-installed grab irons
• Heavy die-cast metal frame
• Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers
• Correct 36'' RP-25 turned-metal wheelsets

 
This car is a perfect complement to the Cornerstone 933-3902 Superior Paper Mill, 933-3058 Mountain Lumber Company Sawmill or other timber related industries on your layout.
