About Gilpin Tram Ore Car by Caleb Shields
A wagon built to go with my two Porters I have designed for narrow gauge trains.
This wagon came about while researching and digging around for various narrow gauge ore wagons to build.
The original location for these wagons was the Gilpin Tramway Company based out of Gilpin County, Colorado.
This wagon comes out to:
L: 27 Studs
W: 10 Studs
H: 7 Studs
Originally used to haul gold ore from the various mines around the County, my version would in the end be hauling things like iron or copper ores.
