Class One Model Works (ZZ03006) | Steel Ladle Section with Cribbing (Painted) Load | HO Scale

This load is a model of the upper half of a molten steel ladle being shipped on a Reading GSC depressed center flatcar (see 1964 picture below).  The upper section will be joined to the bottom bowl section of the ladle at the delivery site and put into service.  This model load comes complete with the ladle section, base cribbing, side braces and 0.4mm tie-down wire for mounting to a flatcar.  The model parts come fully painted and ready for use. Below is a photograph of a nearly identical ladle which had been in factory use and is in the process of being cleaned. This load will be correct for steel operations in nearly all eras  Also, we have included a photo of the load installed on a Classonemodelworks.com GSC flatcar to illustrate the finished result after mounting.
