$70.00 $80.00

This custom designed HO Scale 3D printed kit contains parts for GS Gondolas as rostered by the Denver & Rio Grande Western (D&RGW) in the 70000 number series, commonly referred to as “offset” gondolas. These cars were built in 1922, at 46ft long, with a 70 ton rating. This particular kit has the coke rack attachments printed integral to the carbody.

***Due to inventory space constraints, Solid Grab cars will be print-on-demand, so please email me to express interest***
