Description

HO 1:87 Scale 169’ 3 Track Carfloat

designed and produced by James and Anna Cleveland

This kit represents a 3 Track Carfloat built in the early 1950's and was used in the everyday transfer of freight cars from shore to shore including many interchange operations between different railroads. It features a welded steel hull and will accommodate 8, 40' rail cars (3 per outer set of rail and 2 on the middle).

Our kit consists of highly detailed resin castings featuring scale weld lines, scuttle hatches, cleat bases and toggle pockets already cast in place along with 3 separate cast resin track bumpers. Highly detailed Britannia metal castings included are cleats and bridge hooks along with rope and chain allow you to build an accurate model of a very recognizable, everyday element of water front operations. Looks great with one of our 92' Diesel Railroad Tugboats or 92' Steam Railroad Tugboats pushing it! The parts in this kit require very little cleanup allowing quick assembly time.

1 Resin Bow Section

1 Resin Stern Section

Instructions

*Please Note:

This kit does not come with rail as many modelers have their preference in rail size. Your rail preference can be easily glued in place. There are rail chair details in the casting to simulate a realistic installment. This carfloat is compatible with code 100 or code 83, or with some slight modification even smaller rail.
This 3 Track Carfloat is designed to match up with Frenchman River Model Works Pontoon Float Bridge. We built this kit according to the information we had and do not guarantee compatibility with other kit manufacturer’s bridges.
