– Wisconsin Central (WC) “Ex-CRR FH19 Patch 1992+ V1” illustrates some of the several-hundred ex-Clinchfield Bethlehem hopper cars WC acquired from the CSXT in 1992.  These models feature a weathered-black body color along with various patches.  This WC Version 1 group of cars features ex-Clinchfield lettered cars still in their original CRR number series, with black patches and white WC reporting marks.  The models feature an accurate body for this ex-CRR FH19 series, including rounded top chord corner caps, paired lower posts at the side bolsters, and tiny accurate triangle supports on the bottom chord near the bolster posts.  The B-end of the model features an accurate Universal 7400 high handbrake, “modern” brake wheel and Morton-style brake step.  Inside, the models have a gorgeous (and removable!) flood-style coal load.  These coal cars roll on Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with separate truck brake beams and rotating Brenco-6 caps.  We are pleased to offer 4 numbers in this WC scheme – and don’t forget that we have another WC scheme variant available.
