Skeletal logging truck: It is a generic skeleton logging truck. You can order just the truck, or with 3 logs or 6 logs. Logging railways used three basic types of log cars, the disconnect, skeleton and the flatcar. Skeleton cars were the most common, basically consisting of a wooden reach between two freight car trucks. This arrangement allowed for the use of air brakes (unlike the disconnect), while maintaining its lightweight and easy maintenance.

Features:

3 options available:

  • a single truck with no logs
  • a single truck with 3 logs
  • a single truck with 6 logs

Price: $60.00

Manufacturer: KR Models proudly announce that we will be producing a logging car to complement our model of The Shay. We are a Canadian based company making HO scale models.

Expected delivery is Late Fall 2022.  This is subject to change.
