HO Scale Flat Car Tie Downs
Complete your flat car load with realistic tie-down details.
These HO scale flat car tie downs represent the brackets and securement points used to hold real freight loads in place. They’re a simple add-on that makes flat car loads look finished and believable.
This model is 3D printed in high-quality plastic using FDM, resin, or both, depending on the part. It arrives unpainted; the photos on this page show a finished example to illustrate what’s achievable with painting and weathering, not the as-shipped appearance.
Supplied unpainted and ready to weather, these tie downs are designed to work alongside ScaleRail3D flat car loads and other HO scale industrial freight.
