Wheels of Time 50134 N Scale 53'6" General Service Flatcar Conrail CR 715492 DT&I The Articulateds are the largestWheels of Time 50134 N Scale 53'6" General Service Flatcar Conrail CR 715492 These 53' 6" flatcars were constructed with a welded fish belly steel frame in contrast to the cast steel GSI frame. The fish belly frame provided an optimal distribution of tension and compression forces from the center of the car to the bolsters. Think of it as a bridge. In addition, fabricating a welded frame was far less labor intensive than an equivalent riveted frame.
