Available HO scale Kits

Production runs will be limited with no guarantee of reruns.

Please keep in mind these important points about Resin Car Works kits.

1. All kits will be run in limited batches. Additional limited batches of specific kits may be run as demand warrants.
2. All kits will contain custom parts; resin castings, decals, any special parts like photo-etchings, brake parts and instructions. These parts are supplied by small garage operations and arrive in batches for kit packaging. Staggered arrival of kit parts could delay filling orders for several months before everything is on hand.

Several previously produced kits are not currently available.

Details for kits not currently available have been moved to a separate archive page for these Resin Car Works products.

Kit 17.0 New York Central 50' steel gondola

The NYC installed 1000 of these 70-ton gondolas in 1929. They were built by the Pressed Steel Car Company in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania. The cars were originally in the 324000-324999 series and had steel floors and drop-doors.

By 1945, 712 cars had been rebuilt with wood floors and the drop-door hardware was removed. They were renumbered into the 751000-751999 series. This kit reflects these changes and the renumbering.

This is a one-piece carbody to ease assembly. Kits include Tichy Train Group brake hardware, Tahoe Model Works #110 ACF 70-ton A-3 truck sideframes, and Precision Design Company decals. Couplers are not included.

Kit 17.0 is $45, plus shipping.
