In
late 1991, Norfolk Southern debuted the first
two prototypes
of its TOP GON® re-body program. Looking for
a way to expand the capacity and the longevity
of its coal car fleet, this program took in old
hoppers, stripped them to the frame, and built
an entirely new gondola body on top of that frame.
With production starting in July of 1992, spanning
multiple classes with multiple variations, NS'
Roanoke East End Shops churned out over 18,000
of these cars, ending production in 1998. With
almost 3,265 of class G-85R, G-86R and G-88R’s
in service, this model represents one of NS' most
recognizable freight cars.
The
Models
Our first freight car! We have been working
hard on this model and look forward to delivering
a first class scale model of this unique car.
From day one, our 3D engineering models were
accurately designed from blueprints and field
measurements. Furthermore, literally thousands
of photographs have been analyzed to ensure our
printing is extremely accurate, with specific
attention given to the car class. (Please note
artwork representation is pre-production and
changes may occur.)
