~ The West Side / Swayne Lumber Company Skeleton Log Cars ~

This kit has been around a long, long time. It was one of our first. The main parts of this model are "White Metal" (Pewter) castings with Patternwork by long time friend, Master Pattern Maker, Paul Washburn .

Though we're noted for the fine super-detailed tooling on our Injection Moulded Plastic Model Kits, we opted to make these cars in white metal so they would weigh in at around 4 ounces, thus ensuring good tracking on your layout.

Unlike other white metal kits, ours come with all holes PRE-DRILLED so they are a pleasure to build, instead of the drill breaking headache most people associate with "white metal" kits. Ours are cast in a non-lead Britannia metal too, so they are "environmentally and politically correct" for world we live in... ( Even so, we still wouldn't recommend you give them to small children to chew on! )

Brake cylinder and detail parts are injection moulded styrene plastic, and the wheelsets are nickel plated brass... Of course we top this off with Genuine Kadee ® Couplers!

Available as individual kits, we also bundle these up in 6 packs for the guy who's serious about his logging operation!
