Union Pacific Harrimans!

Here is Wheels of Time N-scale pre-production photo of our Union Pacific's Common Standard Baggage-Express car.  They will have "Common Standard" (a.k.a Harriman) underframes. UP Class 60-B-2 was built by Pullman in 1910 - 1914 and assigned to UP's Oregan Short Line.  Refurbished by the UP shops sometime in the '50's with the removal of roof vents and repainted in the then new streamlined colors. BTW - more variations in the future are coming. Enjoy the close up photo.

Flatcar load diagrams and a video

•  Be sure to check out our diagrams for our HO scale Lumber Loads. These diagrams will help you stack the lumber on flatcars.

• A YouTube video produced by Nathaniel... Building of the lumber kit by Jonathan and Nathaniel who are my nephews. Awesome job! Please note, Wheels of Time don't recommend using wire for wrapping lumber. We recommend using black quilting thread which makes assembly easier and is more scaled in dimension - and won't interfere in the stacking of the loads. Enjoy! Link:  https://youtu.be/pEKXop-PL0s
