3D Printed Kit

Here is one (1) wooden hopper car based upon plans from a Jack Work article in Model Railroader from October, 1958. Dimensions have been modified from the original article to adapt to HOn3. I made a few of these years ago out of cardboard and stripwood, a rather time consuming process. I wanted a few more, so rather than cardboard and wood, I drew it up to be 3-D printed. The car is 22 feet long - the same as the Tichy wood ore cars. The prototypes were found all over - including the railroad I base my layout off of - the Morenci Southern. Will require some brass wire, miniature chain, stirrup steps, trucks, couplers, and weight to complete. Final assembly is fairly straightforward, a few holes for grab irons and coupler boxes need to be drilled.

Made-to-Order Manufacturing
At 3DPT, every model is manufactured to order rather than pulled from warehouse inventory. This approach allows us to offer an extensive catalog while ensuring each piece is produced with the care and attention it deserves.
Most orders ship within 7-14 business days. However, larger models, complex projects, and high-volume orders may require 4-6 weeks or longer due to extended print times and production requirements.
While extended lead times are uncommon, they may occasionally occur during periods of high demand or due to circumstances outside our control. We appreciate your understanding as we continue our mission of preserving transportation history in miniature through high-quality, made-to-order models.
