<font color="336633">here is an example of good service i got a 89' Accurail TOFC in RTTX and it only had 2 raised hiches so this is what i wrote to accurail</font> i have just got one of your 89' RTTX TOFC flatcars, but i have found that their is only enough hitches to build 2 raised and 2 lowered, as these cars can take 3 28' pups shouldnt there be at least 3 raised hitches? is there one missing from my kit or do you only suply 2. thanks Matthew Curtis <font color="336633">then this is what they wroe back</font> Hello from Accurail The flatcar kits are normally supplied with four hitches, and this configuration was determined by the former owner (and creator) of the tooling for that particular kit. From what I've been able to figure out, the reason there were two of each type of hitch instead of three is because only 45' trailers have been marketed along with the flatcar and of course only two of these trailers fit on it. At least that seems to be the most plausible reason they tooled it that way. I'll be happy to have some extra hitches sent free of charge if you can supply a UPSable mailing address and let me know which color(s) you'd like. Best regards, Eric Cote Accurail Inc. <font color="336633">i then sent my addy</font> Mr. Curtis, I'll have them in the mail by this afternoon. Eric Cote Accurail Inc. <font color="336633">that was on monday, i got them via airmail today, i wish everyone was as quick as this </font> ------------------ Matthew wheres all the C636's???? stickymonk.com Matts Photo gallery
I'm very impressed with Accurail and Eric Cote especially! Every time i pester them about that Proto Accumate he always responds... I thought about the extra hitch thing but never thought to write them! Guess i'll have to do that whenever i get around to intermodal detailing as i already have some of the 89' flats which are EXCELLENT models IMO!
