FH&PB Railroad Supply
Out of production Fn3 laser-cut kits for rolling stock and live steam loco upgrades.
The company offered products from 1999 to 2005.
Large wood-spoke pilot kit
This pilot kit is a classic wood-spoke design seen on locomotives from the 1870s until the end of steam. The long, angular profile is characteristic of the early designs, when they literally functioned as "cow-catchers", sweeping animals or other dangerous items off the track.
The kit is made of precision laser-cut birch plywood for exceptional strength and ease of construction. The spokes have laser-cut tabs which fit precisely into laser-cut notches in the frame members. The structure can be glued together in a few minutes, resulting in an amazingly strong part. The spokes are then beveled with a sanding block to finish them off. Two cast metal link-and-pin couplers are included in the kit. (The builder must supply tubing for a link.)
Note: Locomotive not included.
Price: $25 postpaid.
