Looking for the ultimate lumber load for your HO scale trains? Here\'s your product! Made of 4 separately wrapped rows of lumber (8-10 separate boards), this looks and feels like the real deal! Each row is approximately 3 scale feet tall and 72 feet long. Each row features a mix of 8, 12, and 16 foot lumber bunks. Stickers are applied between each row, then the rows are stacked and wrapped.
This load is available in three different variations. The default arrangement will be fully wrapped with a gap on the top row of each half. If desired, this load is also available in a full top row (both sides, or half and half), and also a mix of wrapped and unwrapped bunks. If one of these variations is desired, please send a message after purchase or leave a note in the puprchase.
Each lumber load is made from solid maple and wrapped in a high-quality paper veneer. Each load also features separately applied banding and magnetic attachment for each half. The magnet is adequate to prevent the loads from falling off the car, but not enough -to damage the cars.
Why choose solid wood over plastic? Simply put, weight. Cars loaded with wood weigh 70-100 tons. A model car load should increase a car\'s weight more than an ounce. Solid wood provides this weight.
Note that this load was designed for, and verified to fit Walther\'s Mainline 72\' centerbeam cars, Atlas 73\' center partition cars, and Rapido 73\' centerbeam cars. As the load is designed to fit multiple cars, it is possible that there will be a gap of approximately 1/8\" (about 6 scale inches). If you have an Atlas or Rapido car and would prefer the load to be built longer, send a message.
Legal notes:This listing does not include the car, it is the load only.
