NEW 1" Scale SP Flat Car Kits from PDS

Post by SPSteam2491 »

Now taking pre-orders!

We are finally announcing the newest 1" railcar to our Pacific Design Shops lineup, the Southern Pacific 41' Flat Car. Just like it's larger 1½" version, the car is made from all steel laser cut and bent components with tab and slot construction. 1" Railroad Supply Stake pockets and grabirons along with rivet detail and an individual Oak Plank deck will make this car look as good as it rides. The car is setup for draft gear or solid shank couplers giving more options and includes a bolster to pin to mount to 1" Railroad Supply Trucks.

Pricing is below. Sheet metal components are expected to be in by middle of October. Pre-orders will receive free shipping within the US.

Tier I - $500. Included are 29 laser cut steel components, (24) 1” Railroad Supply stake pockets, (😎 grabirons, (2) custom coupler pockets and all the rivets (plus some extra) required for assembly. Great for those that already have the tools required for riveting and want to do the welding themselves. Not included is hardware for mounting detail parts and the wood deck.

Tier II - $600. All the components from Tier I but all the riveting is complete and the kit is ready for welding. Great for those who don’t already have the equipment for riveting but have a welder and desire to complete the kit themselves.

Tier III - $875. Fully riveted, welded and E-coated car setup for the trucks and couplers of your choosing (trucks and couplers not included) with all the hardware needed for the detail parts. Also included is the individual White Oak plank deck that is pre-cut, drilled and ready for attachment to the car. Not included is paint and decals but may be purchased for an additional charge.

In addition to the tiers above, we offer options for those on a budget.

Option A, White Oak Decking - $125. Save the time of cutting and drilling your own deck boards and have us do the work for you. White Oak boards provide excellent moisture resistance while accepting a variety of stains to match the color of your choosing. White Oak decking is included in the Tier III price.

Option B, Steel Components only - $400. Save money now and get the detail parts later. Great for those that won’t have time to complete the project for a couple years. All the 29 laser cut steel components are included in the price.

Option C, Rivets - $25. Only want the steel parts but don’t want to spend hundreds on rivets? Precounted bags with extras for your flat car ready when the time comes to assemble.
