ExactRail Platinum HO Scale Thrall 54' Coil Car, Norfolk Southern/1992 As Delivered

Norfolk Southern received ‘Protector’ coil cars from Thrall in 1992. These cars shared the well-style body of the Conrail 54' Coil Shield; however, they were equipped with an insulated, aluminum hood of avant-garde styling. Received under the car class CS15, NS utilized the 168800-168059 number series. The 'Protector' name stands for 'PROtected TEmperature Coil Transport On Rail'. These coil cars are one of the most recognizable—and quite frankly, one of the coolest freight cars of the contemporary era. ExactRail has meticulously recreated the Thrall 54’ “Protector” Coil Car in HO Scale. With great attention, we have accurately captured the details of the prototype. From the complex, exposed brake appliances of the B-end platform to the intricate multi-piece framework of the coil hood, this car will impress.
