On30 Scale Gondola Style Excursion Car - Durango & Silverton

As the American industrial landscape changed in the early to mid-20th century, many commodity-reliant narrow gauge railroads survived by tapping into a new source of revenue: tourism. From the Colorado Rockies to the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania, these small regional railroads shifted from being primarily freight haulers to offering scenic excursions from a vantage point otherwise unseen. To facilitate a more immersive experience without incurring prohibitive costs, open cars with bench seating were constructed on existing freight car frames, providing a thrilling 360-degree view for riders. Today, cars such as this are commonplace on most tourist railroads, but it was the endangered narrow-gauge railroads with forward-thinking strategies that pioneered this popular style.

  • highly detailed painted bodies with precision graphics
  • scale seating and slatted wood-style flooring
  • separately-applied railings and brake wheel
