This detailed and accurate to-scale model of a Steel Mill Cauldron complete with a custom-built transportation cradle is a great unique addition to your car / wagon loads.

This custom steel mill cauldron car load with wooden cradle is 2.5″ long which is an HO Scale 18ft. This model comes UNPAINTED with:

• 2  Cauldrons 
• 2 “Wooden” Cradles custom designed and built for the size of the load. 

The cauldrons can be stamped with a name if you wish. If you do want text on the cauldron, message me when you place the order.

The cradles are custom designed for this load and 3D printed. The cradles are 3D printed in a dark “wood” color.  

The flat car is NOT included. 

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

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’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.
