CP Rail Flatcar realism!

Kudos to Bob Fallowfield with his artful weathering job of a Wheels of Time HO scale CP Rail plain deck flatcar. It looks so real looking. A shout out to all - If you have your favorite Wheels of Time rolling stock in either HO or N scales that has been weathered, send it to us in .jpg. Thank you Bob for your handiwork here! Enjoy.

HO-scale 62-ft Gunderson flatcars and look-alike cousins are . . .

Our Wheels of Time HO-scale Gunderson flatcars and look-alike cousins are now in-stock! They feature extra fine details including authentic looking brake hoses, stand-off grab irons and ladders, coupler lift bars, metal wheels, fine printing, smooth rolling, multiple car numbers all for your model railroad lumber and general freight needs.

In addition, be sure to pre-order your HO-scale lumber loads which are perfect for these flatcars! Enjoy!

We are shipping!

We are glad to announce that we are shipping our HO scale flatcars through the next week! Thank you!

The upside down test!

If you are purchasing a Wheels of Time HO flatcar and our lumber load, here is something you can do! Our lumber load has a cavity for an optional installation of a magnet which will hold to a Wheels of Time flatcar in lieu of glue. Our flatcar features a steel subdeck to make this work. We recommend a Neodymium Block Magnet with the following dimensions: 3/16" L x 3/16" W x 1/32" (K & J Magnetics, Item No. B3301). See the following photos. One of the photos shows a string with a clip attached, so you know it's not some photoshop trick.

Update - 1) Wheels of Time HO scale flatcar is currently at the Port of Oakland. Est. release is in March. 2) HO scale Lumber Load is in revised tooling stage. We will have a "wood grain" finish.

Photo break for your day: Even real railroads had problems . . .

Photo break for your day: You thought only model railroads had problems with couplers. Well look again, even real railroads had problems with height differences between couplers. Enjoy!
