Micro Trains-HOn3

The Micro Trains line of HOn3 Rolling Stock has been very popular. Each of the liveries and road numbers is produced in a limited run and once they're gone that's it there aren't any more.

We used to list all that have been produced but this page got to be more of a list of what we didn't have so its been culled and only the items in stock or normally kept are listed now

A Quick Note on Stock
Whilst we do try to keep this page up to date so it only has stock items on it this is not always possible as one day at a show can make a big difference and its not always possible to update the web site quickly afterwards - sometimes it gets overlooked.

We do try to keep the trucks in stock but we only have small quantities so they can sell out and it take awhile to get more

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

30' Gondola

Micro Trains have produced this basic 30' Gondola and have then put it out in a variety of different liveries and road names. Commonly called "coal cars" these cars were actually used for hauling ore, scrap iron, lumber and ballast as well.
Florence & Cripple Creek          30' Gondola

This 30' gondola is painted box car red with white lettering and runs on Arch Bar trucks. It was built in 1900 by American Car & Foundry of Detroit, MI. Finished in 1894, the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad (F&CC) quickly became the major transportation link between the Cripple Creek gold camps and the Arkansas Valley. Twelve stations were established along the F&CC Railroad grade to service the trains hauling coal and supplies upgrade and gold ore downgrade to Florence’s smelters. On November 17, 1899, the line’s name was changed to Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek District Railway.

These F&CC cars will be here very shortly
