8 axle flatcar

Designed to operate seamlessly with your scale rolling stock, this model train car is truly unique. Rather than a model of an actual train car, this depressed flatcar is an original design. Just as full sized train cars are designed with functionality in mind, this car was designed with nothing but heavy duty transport in mind.

​

First designed in CAD and then milled from solid clear white maple, this car is composed of 9 individual parts. The 3 parts which compose the lowbed frame are glued together in a jig.
