O5 On30 Transfer Caboose Kit
This kit is sort of based on logging cabooses of Macmillan Blodel Logging, in British Columbia. As with all of our On30 models, this kit has no real prototype, but was simply designed keeping in mind prototype practices, ease of manufacture and logic. CAD modeling was used to design the kit, and CNC milling was used to create the masters.
This kit requires Kadee #5 or equivalent couplers. You are required to provide trucks for this kit as well, the kit is designed to accept Tichy #3022 (1 pair pkg) or #3035 (10 pair pkg). These are very inexpensive, good looking trucks. The HO scale 33” wheelsets that come with these trucks seem a little small, so substitute NWSL #37119-4 (6 axles) or JayBee# 109 (4 axles). You could also use Bachmann trucks.
Tools and supplies required to build the model kit are hobby knife, pin vise, #79 and 1/16” drill bits, 400 grit sandpaper, and CA glue.
Retail price for O5 is $55.00. Dealer inquiries welcome. Please contact me for ordering information.
As soon as I have samples of the kit, I will build one and post photos. |
