FEATURES:
This kit is fourth in a series of 7/8” to 12” - or 7/8n2 - scale models developed as a joint endeavor of HARTFORD PRODUCTS and SIERRA VALLEY ENTERPRISES. The series consists of small mining, industrial, and logging rolling stock and detail parts based on 24” gauge prototypes. Some cars will be accurate scale replicas of equipment found around the turn of the century in the United States, while other kits will be “free-lance”, but will follow standard design and construction techniques in use during that era. This fourth kit is free lance and was inspired by small cars used to carry cargo or for maintenance-of-way duties on small railroads a century ago. This is a model of an industrial 2 foot narrow gauge "lubrications car".
Rolling stock in kit form, as well as trucks, pedestals, couplers and other detail parts, are available from HARTFORD PRODUCTS. SIERRA VALLEY can provide rolling stock, including custom modifications, in ready-to-run form.
