Specific Item Information: Railroad car floats were once a common sight on North American rivers, moving railcars from one side to the other. Our car float will hold eight 40' boxcars on two tracks (rail not included). By having only two tracks, there are no switches required on the car float, allowing easy loading and unloading. Kit measures 16.5" in length, and 3.5" wide.
Road Name History:
Although they may be molded in color, unpainted and unlettered, undecorated products are marketed to modelers who seek to custom decorate their models for private roads and/or road and/or company names that were not commercially produced by any of the major manufacturers.

Undecorated models are frequently also unassembled or only partially assembled and required modelers to be comfortable with glue, paint and sometimes solder in order to prepare their models for display. Materials for these models can vary but often include plastic, pewter and resin. Models may or may not come with decals or other decorations such as plastic signage, railings and ladders to enhance the appearance of the final product.

Manufacturer Information:
We welcome this opportunity to introduce you to our company, Sylvan Scale Models™. Our factory is located in a small hamlet 35 minutes north-west of London, Ontario, Canada.
