Atlas N Scale Master Series Cushion Coil Car
In the early Sixties, Evans Products saw a need for specialized cars to transport coiled steel. The existing cars at the time were often 70-ton specially equipped mill gondolas. The new commodity-specific coil-steel car were built with a 100-ton capacity using a trough frame and body. The early designs refined during the 1960s and eventually Evans adopted a 48-foot length as standard. Production lasted well into the 1970s.

The Atlas 48-foot coil steel car is based on the Evans design of 1967 as well as being a close stand-in for the 1970s cars.
