The West Central Model Railroad has embarked on a fundraising project to help replace the aging roof on our building and possibly help fund other major building maintenance and improvement projects.  This is our first attempt at selling custom decorated model kits and the success of this project will, hopefully, result in more custom decorated offerings from our club.

    Our first offering is a model 3700 kit from Accurail which is based on an AAR 41' steel gondola.  These gondolas were very common during the early part of the 20th century on every American railroad.  We have had these kits custom decorated in two styles for the Milwaukee Road.  The #82078 is based on a war emergency hopper with CMStP&P lettering and has a 1923 build date with a 1956 reshop date for modern use.  There are renumber decals available for up to twelve 82000 series cars.  The #93026 is a standard post war Milwaukee Road gondola with a 1946 build date.  There are renumber decals available for up to twelve 93000 series cars.
