Maintaining miles and miles of track is a never-ending task for railroads. Mechanical tie loaders ride atop gondolas, picking up discarded ties next to the repaired sections of track. Tie loaders are equipped with clamping and lifting hydraulics that allows the tie loader to move from one car to the next as the MOW train moves forward. Our tie loader model is based on the prototype and is a multimedia kit* cast in color. All three gondolas in each set will come with railroad tie loads.

Description

AVAILABLE MID-MONTH
*Tie Loader is made of resin parts, 3D printed parts and etched metal for the claw. Parts come unassembled and unpainted. Window decals for the tie loader will be included (not shown).

Built in 1952 for Pennsylvania Railroad, this car also served for Penn Central and Conrail before being relegated to Maintenance of Way service. Carrying new railroad ties and a tie loading crane with the ability to “walk” itself from gondola to gondola, it continued to serve in this capacity until the late 1990s.
