Beginning in 1939 the Alamosa shops rebuilt 28000 series standard gauge gondolas into 45 of these one of a kind 42′ fish-belly flat cars. Rated at 40 Tons, these were the heaviest cars built for the narrow gauge division. Over the years several adaptations were made to specific cars for special services.
On August 10th, 1955, two of these cars, 6526 and 6527 had bulkheads installed to ship wallboard to Farmington to support the oil and gas boom of the 1950s. Both of these cars survived until 1967 but were "forgotten" in the Farmington yard when the last train left. In the end, both cars were scrapped.
These cars were boxcar red with black lettering.

Apparently, seller is backlogged with orders. You are making a "pre-order" right now. It took a few weeks for me to get my items. Also, I ordered a set of trucks pictured with wheelsets but received the truck frames and NO wheelsets.
As stated in our FAQ, all orders are printed on demand with a typical 7-14 business day lead time. Customers order was shipped in 11 days. Customer selected trucks without wheels.

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.
