TTEX Triple-53/Long-Runner Made From Con-Cor Flats

This is a TTEX "Triple-53"/"Long Runner" that was made from 2 (heavily modified) Con-Cor 90' Flatcars. Modifications included lowering the cars, filing and sanding the side sills as seen in the photos and with a slight inward taper, adding stirrups & grab irons, fabricating brake levers and gears out of styrene and modifying the rub-rails so the center spanning trailer could swivel.
