Product Description

Apache Railroad ordered 100 6810 cuft woodchip gondolas from FMC, APA 1500-1599 similar in size to the cars built for BN, however they featured fixed ends similar to the SP cars, intended to be unloaded using a rotary dumper.

 

This model is designed to use the following detail parts: Athearn ASF 100ton Trucks or Accurail Barber B-2 Roller Bearing Trucks, Tichy ladder rungs (3062) Tichy 18" Drop Grab Irons (3015), Tichy 18" Grab Irons (3021), , Moloco Freight Car Appliance Kit - Klassing 1500 (CA0304), Yarmouth Models Proto2000 tankcar stirrups (203)

The car will accept either Kadee or Sergent couplers

 

To reduce distortion of the sides during shipping, I added three triangular cross braces that need to be removed to complete the model. These can be removed with wire cutters and the sprue marks sanded flat. 

 

The following hardware is also needed: Everbilt 8in Mending Plate SKU 242993 (available from Home depot). 2-56 Hex Jam Nut and screws (length TBD) for truck attachment. M2 Countersink screws or equivalent for coupler pockets.
