Description
The Durango Press 53 West Side Lumber Flat Car with Rotted Boards is an HOn3 craftsman kit modelling one of the hard-worked flat cars of California's famous West Side Lumber Company — the last great narrow gauge logging railroad in the West. The "rotted boards" deck detail captures exactly how these cars looked after decades of hauling green lumber through the Sierra: sagging, split and thoroughly weather-beaten.
Logging flats like this are the backbone of any HOn3 logging operation, whether trailing behind a Shay in a log train or sitting spotted at a mill. Durango Press kits combine cast detail parts with traditional craftsman construction — a satisfying build that rewards careful staining and weathering. Trucks and couplers are sold separately.
