rotary
is used. They are very distinct ive,
as whatever color is used to indicate a rotary coupler is visible
on both ends. In the case of the PGEX cars, each end is equipped with
colored panels and the four color rose. The deluxe innovations model
of this car correctly captures the feel of the raw aluminum of these
cars, and the most current design with aluminum square tubing for
the superstructure. This superstructure was folded steel in earlier
versions, and the latest version that we have chosen to release is
square aluminum  tubing
for lightness and strength. The weights in the car are diecast, allowing
the lowest center of gravity and maximum weight over the wheels without
spoiling the interior view of the car for running empty. The car is
also equipped with a "load shelf" to support the 10 different loads
available for operating loaded cars. These loads have a cut end to
allow them to ride securely on the car without gluing. If you are
running empty, we also offer fully detailed interior braces. As Johnstown
America changes the number of these braces to the customer's specifications,
they come  ready
to install in any combination you would like. Many people are using
two trains to represent a "loads out, empties back scenario. This
is easy to do with the amount of details and roadnumbers released
by deLuxe innovations! Yes, it is a little extra work for us at the
factory to make this car this way, but we like to run them, too. The
extra work we put in at our end means you don't have to at your end!
