Designed to move molten iron, the prototypes of these cars were equipped
with a different style of ladle, which resembles a large bucket. These were
very common at operations with pig casting machines, where the ladles were
fitted with either single or double wings so they could be lifted and
tipped for pouring.
The kit includes the complete car with details and trucks; the ladle can be
built in the standard version (no wings), or with single or double wings
for pig casting service. Complete instructions are included.
