![]() |
This kit is a model of the Russel Wheel and Foundry Co. log car, which was sold to more than 300 logging railroads – both narrow gauge and standard gauge – all over the United States. Modelers familiar with the Ely-Thomas log car (HARTFORD PRODUCTS K-13) will note a striking similarity to this car. Ely-Thomas purchased their cars from the Pardee and Curtin Lumber Company of West Virginia, who in all likelihood made their cars by modifying No. 2 pattern cars. Kadee® 820 or Accucraft couplers are included.
