    We produce several sets of walkways for Thrall Double Stack Container Cars configured to match the kits produced by A-Line. All of the container car walkways feature the Morton (round) pattern. Note: our 'units' refer to each well. Five units or wells make one complete car, coupler to coupler. These sets are for walkways only.

    Walkway Frame Kits

    Again, the previously listed sets are walkways ONLY. To mount them on the cars, we wanted something that represented the prototypes angle iron construction which would stay durable for operation. What we've developed was several pieces of flat brass in various shapes and sizes. The modeler is required to bend these pieces, forming an excellent representation of the prototype. A few detail features are: locator boxes with 'peek' holes, mounting holes for grab irons, well end load guides and a true angle iron effect in the frames. All kits are for the Thrall style cars by A-Line. Part #163 has over 100 pieces. Kits come with instructions and paper drill templates to aid in the placing of the frames. Kits #161-170 are FRAMES ONLY kits.

    Gunderson Husky Stack / MAXI III Stanchions and Stirrups

    So your Husky stacks or MAXI III cars are all built up and you don't want to redo the walkways and details. We get that. But how many of these built up models have bent/mangled/missing corner stanchions and/or stirrup steps? We have kits to replace those missing parts with Phosphorous Bronze parts. Each kit includes 4 stanchion sets (2 posts per corner make a one piece set) and 4 stirrup steps. The kits are configured in two ways. One has all the parts in the flat mode and you can bend them yourself as you add them to your model. OR, for those that don't have the tools/ability to form the parts, we have a kits with all the parts formed and ready to install on your model. Painting and some model rework will still be required to add these parts. But once added your well cars will no longer be susceptible to loosing graps/step during a "derailment".
