This range of large crates are similar to the Chooch models but not as heavy. If you are wanting to make your flat cars and loads the correct weight in accordance to NMRA standards, you will be able to do so with this new range of crates.  These are the ones you want. See NMRA RECOMMENDED PRACTICES RP-20.1 Car Weight

Stand out from the Walthers crowd with this unique HO scale flat car load. I am producing interesting car-loads and models all the time, so why not “favorite” my store and check out my other items.  

Shipping and Handling

The model will ship well packaged and boxed via USPS using their Ground Advantage rates for the domestic US. I don’t mark up the cost of shipping, you pay what I pay.

I highly recommend buying more than one item in my range. That’s not just a sales pitch; the USPS costs are high. I can usually fit 2 purchases in one shipping box. I’m happy to ship globally at cost. If more than one item is purchased, I will combine shipping where possible.
