FINAL RUN!!! Depressed Flat Cars from Pacific Design Shops
Due to popular demand, we are making one last batch of our 1½" Scale Depressed Flat cars for both Buckeye trucks and Standard 2-axle trucks. These car kits are made from laser cut and pre-bent 11 gauge and 16 gauge steel with tab-and-slot construction to ease assembly. When welded together, they provide a very sturdy, robust car for a smooth ride down the rails.
We expect pricing to remain the same as the previous batch, but may be subject to change. Kits will be available starting in May.
Buckeye Version Kit: $850
Standard 2-axle Version: $700
Optional Wood Decking: $125
Trucks and Couplers not included in price
Shipping not included in price
The Buckeye Truck version is compatible with Tom Bee Buckeye Trucks and the Modern Buckeye Trucks from Allen Models.
The Standard 2-axle version is compatible with all major truck brands.

Re: FINAL RUN!!! Depressed Flat Cars from Pacific Design Shops
We are working on acquiring the equipment to produce wood kits in house. Our goal is to have them back in stock by the end of 2023.
Our friends over at The Steam Channel created a great How-To video showing the process to weld and assemble our Depressed Flat Car kits. Check it out in the video below.
Kits are still available for reservation with no deposit required. The reservation window will close on March 31 so that the kits will be ready to ship in May. If you are interested in a kit, please send us a message.
Buckeye Version: $800
Standard 2-Axle Version: $700

Re: FINAL RUN!!! Depressed Flat Cars from Pacific Design Shops
If they're popular ...why are you doing a final run ???.....why do companies do that, invest all the time and energy into developing something.....and then do a limited run ??
Re: FINAL RUN!!! Depressed Flat Cars from Pacific Design Shops
Because often they do it for themselves, then open it up to others if they wanted it too. It also helps offset the cost of building their own.
Running a side business takes a LOT of extra time, and most long-term suppliers don't often get to their own projects.

Re: FINAL RUN!!! Depressed Flat Cars from Pacific Design Shops
The reservation window is now closed for the depressed kits. If you would like to be placed on the wait list in case someone cancels, please send us a PM.
In regards to this kit being a final run, the reason is because of the large amount of time and logistics to sort, package, and ship all the components for this kit. While it is a great kit and the demand was higher than we ever thought it could be, we feel our time is better spent researching, designing and producing other designs to continue to fill the gaps in this hobby and keep pushing the limits for highly detailed, affordable options.
