STOCK PENS

Many manufacturers have made kits of regular loading stock pens, but this kit from KANAMODEL is the first for cattle in transit. Stock being moved from the range to the packing houses had to be unloaded from the stock car and fed and watered. This had to happen every so often and depending n the jurisdiction this could be from every 12 hours in some provincial jurisdictions to every 28 hours in the United States.

Stock trains on long trips could stop up to two times on the trip. The cattle were tended by workers known as "Drovers" who either rode in the regular caboose or a special caboose used in the USA called a "drovers caboose". Our model has facilities to handle 4 cars. Included are 4 cast water troughs, and 4 cast feed bins located under an optional partial shelter. Cast feed hatches for the shelter roof are included and the platforms and walkways are laser cut from basswood. Over 9000 scale feet of colour coded stripwood is included. That is about 105 actual feet!!! It is designed following a CNR design drawn in 1924. The footprint is 12" sq.
