Z Scale - Rolling Stock Details Freight Car Stirrups
This set includes the four most common styles of Freight Car Stirrups with multiple ways of mounting. This set can retro-fit up to fourteen cars!
Installation Instructions
We've designed the stirrups in this set to mount in a few different ways, giving you ultimate control over your unique project.
Styles A-C: Though it is not visible in the scanned photograph of the etching to the right, there is a half-etched fold line where the stirrup meets the square portion of metal at the top. Make a fold at the half-etched line so the stirrup is perpendicular to the square. This flat square will allow you to simply glue the stirrup to the bottom of a freight car without any drilling.
Styles D-F: These three styles are exact copies of styles A-C but feature a different mounting method. For these stirrups, two #80 holes must be drilled into the underside of the freight car before mounting. Each stirrup has two small half-etched circles etched into the side so you will know how far down the stirrup should extend.
Style G: This style mounts the same way as styles D-F but offers a different, less common style of stirrup for earlier rolling stock.
