YOU CAN’T BUILD IT ANY CHEAPER!
Even veteran craftsmen admit they’d be hard
pressed to make a comparable railroad car for less money. Plum Cove Studios
proudly offers these cars – including cast iron wheels CNC machined
to IBLS standards and real arch bar trucks -- for barely more than the street
value of the component parts.
YOU CAN’T BUILD IT QUICKER!
Combined, the engineers at Plum Cove Studios have been in the model railroad
hobby for over 65 years... constantly searching for the quickest and easiest
way to build model rolling stock. The Whreephur D. Phridge design is the
culmination of that tireless research. Combined with "real-world"
design principles, our Phridge Car is an excellent tracking, perfectly-proportioned
workhorse able to hauls heavy loads -- all from a kit that assembles in
less than a week.
YOU CAN’T BUILD IT EASIER!
All you’ll need to assemble the kit -- from
start to finish -- is a hammer, drill, screw driver, pliers, socket drivers
and basic painting supplies. If you put your own socks on, you’ve got
the aptitude to assemble the Whreephur D. Phridge. All holes are pre-drilled
in special jigs to assure uniformity. Each kit comes complete with illustrated
instructions. A "help line" phone number is also included just
in case.
