ScaleTrains Rivet N Scale 33557 Thrall-Trinity 42′ Steel Coil Car “Boxcar Logo” CSX 493276

In the mid 1990s, Thrall Car Manufacturing introduced the 42’ coil steel car. This car shared many traits common to other Thrall built coil steel cars, including the basic body construction and jack pad design. In 2001, Thrall Car Manufacturing was purchased by Trinity Industries and with this purchase, Trinity continued to build these same cars. The latest cars were delivered in 2012. These cars can be seen in singles or small groups roaming all over the country.
