Unit A-7 HO scale Wood Chip Loader, with the iron oxide finish, preassembled and painted. The model features a highly detailed walkabout grating, handrails, electrical panel shack, ladder, and loader bonnet that guides the chips. The bonnet hangar "cables" are actually very thin 3D printed rectangles that have fine precision and hang straight, and a set of extras are included.  Also Included are four "concrete" risers which allow you to raise the main structure by 1/2 inch, and a set of four different sized risers for the feeder tube assembly. All these options allow you to choose the correct elevation of the main structure and the feeder tube so all components will look realistic and not interfere with layout operations. The feeder tube comes with two supports to position it over the model, but you can of course any system you wish to allow you to incorporate this into your scene. Footprint: 3.5" across the tracks x 2.75" track-wise. Height 4.75".I hope the photos will do a better job of explaining all this than my verbiage about it!
     This model is assembled by me in Oregon, from the 3D printed parts which I designed and print.  This structure has a rustic, industrial appearance.  I love searching out trackside industrial machinery that is showing plenty of wear, tear, and rust.  "Why burn 'em when you can Load 'em?!!"
