Small cars for heavy loads! Ore and taconite trains have been the lifeblood of America's steel industry for generations. Don't let their small size fool you, these little cars can carry a lot of weight. Based on a common design used by many railroads, our HO ore and taconite cars are ready to go to work on your layout. With die-cast metal bodies, metal wheels, axles and couplers, these little cars will track beautifully around your layout. Assembling long trains is easy thanks to two separate six-packs as well as single cars all with unique numbers. Each car also includes a removable plastic load. Optional drawbars are included for operators who, like the prototype, want to drawbar blocks of cars together to reduce couplers. Taconite service cars include plastic body extensions to add to their capacity
