Well Cars For Container – Stackable

Bill is hoping a reader will be able to help with his problem and asks:

How can these be double stacked so as they will not come off the top of the first container like pins? The ladders are on the ends and the Hand Brake and Brake wheel.”

One Response to Well Cars For Container – Stackable

  • Anonymous says:

    On the prototype railroads, the well cars are equiped with steel locking cones so that, when locked together the top container does not fall off the bottom one. On the moddel version, the containers have tinny pins. The bottom one has holes on top for the pins to fit into. The top container will sit on the bottom one. If the top container falls off then glue the two containers together.
