In this How-To tutorial, we walk you through the process of assembling a 1.5” scale version of General Steel Casting 53 1/2' flat car kit offered by Precision Steel Car Company.

At the time of publication, PSC has a limited quantity of flat car kits in stock so, if you are interested in purchasing a kit, do not delay.

Correction** we used a right angle grinder not a die grinder and a shoulder bolt is used for attaching the trucks not a machine screw.
