Description: This custom designed HO Scale 3D printed kit contains parts for TWO GS Gondolas as rostered by the Denver & Rio Grande Western (D&RGW) in the 40000 - 42500 number series. These cars were built in 1908-1909 at 36ft long, and this particular version is the "late" era, post 1940s to the end of life in company service in the early 1960s. Included for EACH car: (1) 3D printed resin one-piece carbody with "cast" type grab irons.(2) Laser-cut styrene coupler pocket covers(4) 2-56 black oxide screws for coupler and truck attachment(2) Custom decal sheets for the Post-1940 “Flying” Rio Grande lettering, one black, one white for your choice of company service silver, or standard black paint schemes.(1) Lead metal bar for ballast weight(1) Kadee Ajax Brake Wheel(1) Instruction sheet The kit does not include paint, wheelsets, truckframes (Andrews or Bettendorf), or couplers, but the coupler pockets are sized for Kadee whisker couplers. As stated before, this listing is for TWO (2) car's worth of kit. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I will combine shipping, just use the "Request Invoice" button when checking out! I started this project as a way to build a fleet of D&RGW gondolas that are not commonly available, and along the way I've had enough interest (and spare components) to create and offer a kit in the way I like to see. The main components are 3D printed on a Form 2 3D printer. As time allows for revisions, other versions will be made available. Please no custom work requests at this time.
