Our newest HO release is Etched Metal Ladders for Pennsylvania RR X23 SS Boxcars and R7 Refrigerator Cars. These etched brass parts will allow the modeler to accurately replicate the metal ladders on these PRR cars. The ladders are available in a five rung version and a six rung version that modern FGEX and NX R7 reefers used. The assembly of the ladders is very simple, requiring the bending of the ladder side stiles, placing in the included assembly tool and securing the rungs with ACC. Detailed instructions with photos are included.
All of our PRR X23 Boxcars and R7 Refrigerator cars now come with these etched metal ladders. In addition, we offer separately, three sets of the Etched Metal ladders in our Detail Parts section of our Website Secure Model Store. Please see listings below.
