50' Sieco Pulpwood Flatcar - Ready to Run -- Georgia Railroad #56008

Based on a prototype constructed by the Southern Iron and Equipment Company (SIECO) beginning in the 1960s, these purpose-built cars served well into the 2000s hauling pulpwood between the pulp landings in the woods and the paper mills. The open cars featured a V-sloped deck and tall bulkheads at each end of the car to keep the load in place. This is a one-time run of these roadnumbers. The model features: Separately applied ladders Factory-installed grab irons Heavy die-cast metal frame Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers Correct 36'' RP-25 turned-metal wheelsets This car is a perfect complement to the Cornerstone 933-3902 Superior Paper Mill, 933-3058 Mountain Lumber Company Sawmill or other timber related industries on your layout.
