MTH 20-90041 Pittsburgh Steel slag car set

This set has three slag cars similar to those used at steel mills. The cars feature sprung Roller Bearing style trucks, end railings and individual grabs. The "ladles" tip side to side. The original Rollerbearing style trucks will be changed to Bettendorf style trucks which better match the prototype photo.

A prototype photo of this type of car is shown.

Note: The Pittsburgh Steel Company was originally located in Monessen, Pennsylvania.

MTH did a couple of runs of these cars a few years back.
