Conrail maintained the lettering locations that PC did, painting the Conrail reporting marks, road number, and Conrail can opener logo in the same locations PC had stenciled them. The G43B prototype features cushion draft gear, giving the model a distinctive look compared to the other G43 classes. The top chord of the car has a -COIL STEEL LOADING ONLY- stencil to remind customers and railroad officers that the car is equipped with coil racks. Our model has coil racks too, and we sell beautifully executed steel coils for this car separately. We recommend a load of four coils if you want to replicate most prototype loading patterns ? for the size of coil we created. Yes, we did the math. These Conrail coil service gondolas are offered in 12 road numbers and feature details appropriate for these 1969-built cars.
