Designed to take a 12" minimum radius, these chunky 15' log cars pack a "big" look onto a little frame.  Complete with chain and fittings as shown, they're perfect for running "big-time" logging operations on small layouts ... and also great for packing more cars into a bigger layout!
Loaded with Details!
* Realistic wood grain cast in place -- check out the "Painting" section for tips on how to make the most of this great detail!
* Lots of "metal" detail on the castings for a rugged look -- heavy coupler box reinforcement, metal straps on the log bunks, free-standing braces to secure the bunks, separate "cheese block" (log retainer) castings and lots of little nut-bolt-washer details.
* Includes CHAIN and hardware -- each kit includes enough chain to run hangers to the trucks AND secure log loads using any of the four methods we've shown.
* WEIGHTED spine and log bunk castings -- we've added tiny steel pellets (no lead!) to increase the weight and insure smooth operation!

KIT CONTENTS:  Top-quality resin castings with weighted spine and log bunks; chains and hardware; illustrated parts list and instructions.  We recommend BVM T-2 trucks and Kadee #5 couplers (sold separately).  Logs are not included.
SKILL LEVEL:  Advanced beginner.  Assembly of the car is very simple.  Working with the chains and fittings requires some care and patience.  If you're like me, the first few minutes of working with these small pieces is a little bit tricky and maybe even slightly aggravating ... then it quickly turns to fun as you see how good the added detail looks!  -- Dallas
ATTENTION KITBASHERS:  It's "dang near impossible" to saw thru the castings that contain steel pellets for weight.  If you plan on cutting up your cars, please email to discuss your specific ideas and we'll see what we can do to accomodate!
