Car numbers: 40005, 40008. Over the years, flatcar designers have devised various means of squeezing the most inside a loading gauge, with one of the most popular being the depressed center flat car. Dropping the car floor down, until it almost touches the rails between the car's trucks, allows room for larger loads like the huge power transformer depicted by our model. Additional trucks are also used to spread out the weight on this four-truck car, to keep the tonnage on each axle within the maximum allowed axle loading on the rails. An even more dramatic solution is the Schnabel car, also modeled in our Premier line, in which the load becomes part of the structure of the car, and can even be shifted side-to-side to clear lineside signals and structures. But where the Schnabel car requires its own dedicated slow-speed train, depressed center flat cars can travel as part of a normal freight consist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMTH Premier O Scale freight cars are the perfect complement to any manufacturer's scale proportioned O Gauge locomotives.
