The material is supplied fully painted and ready to use. Simply place it inside your gondolas, arrange it beside a scrapyard, or build a large industrial scrap pile on your layout.

PROTOTYPE BACKGROUND
Scrap metal is commonly transported by rail in open-top gondolas between scrapyards, recycling facilities, steel mills, foundries, and metal-processing plants.
Loads typically contain an irregular mixture of cut steel, machinery parts, sheet metal, structural pieces, and other recyclable material. The variation in shape, color, and corrosion makes scrap-metal loads especially noticeable on industrial railroad layouts.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
- One large bag of fully painted HO scale scrap metal
- Enough to fill approximately four scale 50-foot gondolas or create a large scrap-yard pile
Gondolas, vehicles, buildings, figures, and scenery shown in photographs are not included.
PLEASE NOTE
Each scrap-metal batch is individually produced and painted. The exact shapes, arrangement, rust tones, and stained-metal colors may vary slightly from the photographs. These variations help give every load a realistic, non-uniform appearance.
SHIPPING
Your model will be carefully packed to help protect the painted finish during shipping.
Please review all photographs before purchasing, as they form part of the product description.
