Enhance Your Freight Trains With This Unique 3D Printed “Nodding Donkey” Counterbalance Weights Car Load.

Bring authentic detail to your model railroad, diorama, or layout with this great model.  

Nodding Donkeys or Sucker Rod Pumps or Pump Jacks can be found across Texas, North Dakota, Oklahoma and California. This 3D printed model has 2 Nodding Donkey counterbalance weights sitting on a custom pallet. Great for your flat cars and it looks good on a semi-truck too. 

You get 2 sets unpainted, they are 3D printed in a light brown color, ready for you to paint. 

Each pallet measures 2.13″ L x 1.14″ W x 0.43″ H  (54 x 29 x 11mm) The pictures were taken on a HO scale 50 ft flat car.

Stand out from the Walthers crowd with this unique 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.  This model comes UNPAINTED in a pack of 2.

The model will ship well packaged and boxed via USPS using their 4oz Ground Advantage rates for the domestic US, plus $1 for the packing materials and box. I don’t mark up the cost of the box, that is 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.

Want a custom-made model? Message me with what you are thinking, and I’ll see if I can make it. 

Thanks for looking. See my shop for other models in the range.
