Expand mining or steel mill operations in minutes with these models! With the shift from raw ore to taconite production, railroads found the marble-size pellets were lighter and more could be carried in a car. Older ore jennies were rebuilt with short side and end extensions to increase their carrying capacity and some roads combined four cars into one, by connecting the intermediate cars with drawbars.
Sporting authentic paint jobs and extensions, these models fill an important gap in HO freight car fleets. Available for the first time in plastic, they come in 4- and 12-packs, each with different car numbers to model longer trains.
But that's not all, as optional couplers are provided to meet the needs of your railroad. One pair of working knuckle couplers (optional horn-hooks are also provided) are included for the end cars. Intermediate cars can be connected with dummy couplers OR drawbars (both are included) to match your favorite prototypes.
Perfect for service at the Cornerstone Series(R) Ore Dock (933-3065) or Blast Furnace (933-3054), available separately.
