Prototype History: In US railroad terminology, a gondola is an open-topped rail vehicle used for transporting loose bulk materials. Because of their low side walls gondolas are also suitable for the carriage of such high-density cargos as steel plates or coils, or of bulky items such as prefabricated sections of rail track.

Road Name History: Some items are designed to have their owner add whatever company marking they choose, usually in the form of decals or dry-transfers. These items are painted in a generic prototypical fashion but with all company affiliation deliberately left off.

Brand/Importer Information: Like any great idea, ours came from of a personal desire for a realistic, N-Scale frontier layout. Old West Scenery answers that need with more than 60 complete N-scale ready buildups and scenery items. These structures are created with such amazing detail, you’ll feel like you have been transported back in time!

Our laser printed buildings & scenery products draw inspiration from iconic western towns, like Deadwood, Yuma, Dodge City, and Tombstone. Rustic frontier towns such as these tamed the unforgiving territories, alongside the mighty railroads that made their way across the American Frontier. All our N-Scale products are 3D printed using the latest laser technology in a process called “Additive Manufacturing”. This process allows us to produce complete buildings, ready to be painted and placed on your layout. No more glue or tape. No more finagling with small parts. And best of all, no more frustration and disappointment when your DIY kit just doesn’t turn out quite the way you hoped!
