Franklin, Forge, and Gear 93 Ton ingot mold

Franklin, Forge, and Gear built an ingot transport car in HO scale. Look for the build and more information of the build in a future issue of The Mill. If anyone has information on these types of cars used to haul these types of molds please contact me at don_csx@hotmail.com.

The following pictures are from Franklin, Forge, and Gear. The mold was built from 2 electric conduit couplings, the carrier for the mold was scratch built and the carrier buggies were built from 2 Athearn heavy duty flats that were shortened down.
