Modelers have a choice to get the discount: You can order the ore cars then send Richard an email mentioning NEW TRACKS or you can send an email asking for a paypal invoice and Richard will send one with the discount.

Kit #351 a 16’ On30/On3 Ore Car. The Kits are precision laser cut wood that assemble easily. The detail parts are made of white metal. Trucks and couplers are not included. The ore car we have designed does not follow a specific prototype but is patterned after the many types found around the turn of the century. A good place to see examples are the “Car Builders Dictionary”. The shorter cars were made to carry the heavy precise metal copper, & iron ores.
