1-1/2" Scale Open Grid (USG Style) Walkway

This is an exact scale reproduction of the walkway used on most modern equipment. Commonly seen as top walkways and platforms on tank cars and as end platforms on container and other cars. Made from 20 gauge steel with a two stage die forming operation that punches the openings and then forms the edges upward to give the anti-slip design as in the prototype. The fully formed walkway channels include side and bottom flanges and a top offset and measure 3" wide and 3/8" high. The flat panels have approximately ½" of unpunched material on all four edges.

Note: For diamond plate see our locomotive parts section
