dibber25 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I've become very interested in the Huron Central recently. I saw two HC locos switching at Sudbury when I was there in 2018 and I have models of the pair. I want to assemble a typical train, so I've been looking at movie of HC trains on Youtube and there seems to be quite a lot of (what I think are) steel coil cars. Am I right in thinking that the only HO models are by Atlas, and they seem hard to find at present? (CJL) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Β Walthers offer a model - https://www.walthers.com/products/trains/freight-cars/coil-car Β As does ScaleTrains - https://www.scaletrains.com/ho-scale/ho-scale-freight-cars.html?freight_cars_product_type=502 Β Β Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibber25 Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 Tracked down an Atlas in the UK and a Walthers kit from the USA (postage not too bad). The majority are for sale from the USA, some with as much as Β£60 postage though. (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 The HCRY nearly closed as no one was willing to spend any money on it. However, it does now have a rescue package. Found this on Youtube. Well worth a watch - several steel coil cars scattered through the train. (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
