HO RTR 60' Flat Car SOO #5531 (ATH92687)

This HO-scale Ready-To-Run 60-foot flatcar recreates Soo Line #5531 and is designed to haul bulk loads up to 60 feet in length. Decorated, fully assembled, and ready to run, it offers an authentic mid-century freight piece that can be dropped into a layout with minimal setup.

The model features separately applied end details and a brake wheel, 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, weighting tuned for steady operation, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling. The highly detailed injection-molded body enhances realism, and a minimum 18-inch radius ensures smooth tracking on standard layouts. Historically, 60-foot flatcars like this were introduced in the late 1960s to handle bulk lumber and pipe loads, often with stake pockets to stabilize the payload, a characteristic faithfully captured in this model.
