HO Scale 55 Gallon Drums – (Flat Top, Bunghole, Other Variations)

HO Scale 55 Gallon Drums – (Flat Top, Bunghole, and Other Variations)

These drums are one of those subtle details that help tie everything together. Whether they’re stacked behind a fueling station, tossed in a corner of the yard, or lined up outside a shop, they add a lived-in feel that makes your scene more believable.

Each drum is 3D-printed with sharp, clean detail—whether you go with the classic 3-ribbed flat top, smooth flat top, bunghole version, or the hollow one with a removable-style lid. You can paint them up clean and new, or give them the weathered look with rust, dents, and grime. They’re unpainted and ready for you to finish your way.

Designed by a fellow model railroader (that’s me, Jamie), these are made with care and purpose—so you can focus on building something that feels right and tells a story.

Available Variations

• 3-Ribbed Flat Top – Classic industrial style

• Flat Top (Smooth) – A clean, general-purpose version

• Bunghole Drum – Great for chemical or fuel scenes

• Hollow with Lid – Adds variety and realism with an open-top look

Materials / Finish

Material: High-detail 3D printed resin
Finish: May require light sanding for best results
Color: Unpainted gray resin

*Important Note About 3D Resin Prints*

My models are created using high-resolution 3D resin printing.
You may notice small bumps or marks in the product photos — this is normal.
These are the remains of support structures from the printing process.

A light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper can easily smooth the surface for best results.

I believe in showing the product as you will receive it, so you can see exactly what to expect before finishing.
