• 4 sprues of Modular 'Wide' Lumber Panels (8 Panels each), totaling 32 panels
• 1 Sprue of “Bracing, “Stickers,” & “Dunnage” to secure load
• Detailed Instructions, incorporating AAR standard practices, and tips for weathering board effects & finishing of the load. More "Tips & Techniques" well be coming here soon.

Kit is authentic for 1900-1960 Eras. For more information about shipment of lumber by rail, see Historical Information.

Modular Assembly – for millions of combinations selecting from 8 different panel designs. Build your load up how you want it. You have to try hard to make two loads exactly the same! Modular construction also allows for faster assembly than scratch-building loads board-by-board.

• Cast in “natural” wood colored plastic for ease of weathering and finishing
• Painting of base coat primer not required
• Hollow panels reduce weight and lower center-of-gravity per NMRA RP-22
• Complete load weighs 2.25 oz.
• Extra weighting of load NOT required!

Stakes are separate parts to fit various stake pocket spacing of many HO-Scale flatcars on the market, including the following flatcar models:

• Red Caboose/EspeeModels 53' SP F-70-Series,
• Proto2000/WalthersProto 53' AAR Standard,
• Bowser F30A 50',
• Athearn 40' & 50' Flats,
• Tichy 53' GSC flatcars

Stacks of lumber are designed to either be glued onto flatcars or be interchangeable between cars of the same manufacture & type with same pocket spacing. Note: Athearn 50' flatcars & Train-Miniture/Walthers Trainline-series 40' Flats have the same stakepocket spacing and size.
