D&RGW "6300" - 40'-0" Flat Car Post 1937 Version A 40 foot flat car for the narrow gauge? And a wooden one at that? Well sir, that's what this model represents... And not one, but TWO very distinct versions have been created besides! CLICK PHOTO FOR MORE INFO!

PBL-R18

D&RGW "6300" - 40'-0" Flat Car Pre-1937 Rebuilding - Sort of... "Sort of ?" Well, uhhh, sort of... Y'see, these flats got abused badly, so in '37 the 'Grande rebuilt SOME of them. But not ALL of them... So if you model the pre-1937 period, this is the ONLY version for you. But if 1937 and later is your period, then you can have BOTH versions... Take yer pick!

PBL-R19

D&RGW "Long" Refrigerator Car No, the picture didn't get "stretched" somehow. The 'Grande really did have such things as these 40'-0" wonders! Probably because, what with the "ice bunkers" taking up gobs of space, the "short" reefers just didn't have quite the capacity. All injection molded and sitting on the special "Andrews" Type trucks of the prototype with our great rolling brass wheelsets, and Kadee ® couplers.

The S.P. "Perlite Hopper" Boxcars These cars LOOK like ordinary Carter Brothers boxcars, but the prototypes were for-real Covered Hoppers!
