Why Add Gravel Loads?

Empty dump cars look incomplete and unrealistic on working railroad layouts. These detailed gravel loads instantly transform your MOW equipment into authentic working trains hauling ballast for track maintenance, gravel for construction projects, or aggregate materials for railroad operations. The realistic texture and easy installation make these loads essential for modelers who run maintenance-of-way equipment.

Modeling Applications

  • Maintenance of Way (MOW) work train consists
  • Ballast trains for track maintenance operations
  • Construction and engineering service trains
  • Gravel and aggregate hauling operations
  • Railroad yard and maintenance facility scenes
  • Adding operational realism to layouts
  • Photo-realistic modeling and display

Customization and Finishing

While the loads come ready to use, you can customize them to perfectly match your layout. Use hobby paints to adjust the color to match your specific ballast type - gray for granite, brown for cinders, or tan for limestone. Apply weathering chalks or powders to create dust, dirt, and realistic aging effects. The resin surface accepts paint and weathering materials readily for professional results.

Compatible Equipment

These loads are specifically designed to fit DIFCO style dump cars in N scale, including popular models from Micro-Trains Line (MTL). The drop-in design ensures a perfect fit without modifications, allowing you to quickly load and unload cars as your operations require.
