*****Attention: Effective 7/29/2025, this load will be built in a larger size, to allow the load to fill the bulkhead cars. This is an increase of approximately 3/8 to 1/2 inch per load. This change will also require the use of random lumber load sizes, rather than the standard 8 foot loads as pictured. Images will be updated in the near future. If you'd prefer the smaller size loads, please send a message after purchasing.*****
Looking for a more accurate wrapped lumber load for your HO scale trains? Here's your product! Made of separately wrapped rows of lumber, this looks and feels like the real deal! Each row is approximately 4 scale feet tall and 72 feet long. Each row features 7 bunks of lumber, which will replicate bunks of 2x4s or 2x6s. Stickers are applied between each row, then the rows are stacked and wrapped.
There are 15 manufacturers to choose from, pick a set that is all the same, or choose "mixed" and send a note with your brand selections and the order you'd like them to be assembled. Also available is a custom load option. Choose this and attach an image, and I can make the load to your specifications.
Each lumber load is made from solid wood and wrapped in a high-quality paper veneer. Each load also features separately applied banding and wood stickers. Why choose solid wood over plastic? Simply put, weight. Cars loaded with wood weigh 70-100 tons. A model car load should increase a car's weight more than an ounce. Solid wood provides this weight.
Note that this load was designed for, and verified to fit Walther's Mainline 60', Athearn 60' and Roundhouse 60' cars. It will not fit Walther's mainline Pullman Standard bulkhead cars or Rapido 66' bulkhead cars.
