Our instructions include both the and open center brace, and closed center brace version, as well as instruction to build a wrapped lumber load for the car.

Our premium instruction kit contains the following:

1 professionally printed instruction book with full color instructions, part list, prototype information, and building tips.

1 set of AAR 6B Roller Bearing tiles.

4 assembled train axles with ball bearings. Enough to build one car. These wheel sets come fully assembled, with ball bearings pre-installed in new LEGO® Technic bricks, custom sized axles to fit the bearings, washers to prevent wheels from rubbing the bricks and causing excess friction, and new LEGO train wheels.

Why use bearings? Because ball bearings provide excellent free rolling operation. Better than stock LEGO wheel sets. Less resistance means the rail car is easier to pull. And the easier a car is to pull the less strain on locomotives, and the more cars you can pull.

All you need to provide is the LEGO bricks from your own collection. Build the car in the color of your choice, or you can purchase decals to build the car in one of the following authentic railroad paint schemes bellow.
