Lite and Narrow Column - 4
For those of you modeling turn-of-the-century equipment in
either standard or narrow gauge, this would be an excellent
car for you to roster, as it was a standard design that many rail-
roads used. However, modeling the 10-ton cars can be easy or
difficult, depending on your scale. In O scale, David Crement
has the car as a resin kit and will make them available if there is
enough demand. Contact him at
These cars
are also very good, because of their size for On30. In HO scale,
there was a wood model of the car available from Quality
Craft/Gloor Craft, but they are no longer available and are very
hard to find. Another car that was on the market was the Red
Ball metal version of the car, but again it is very hard to find.
Funaro and Camerlengo offers the car in HOn3 and HOn30 in
a two-pack. This is a flat resin kit but is easy to assemble. For

4. Hopper number 523 is an example of the 15-ton
cars used on the East Broad Top. This is an On3
model by David Crement. David Crement photo.
