Alan You are causing me too much pain, Stop it . My wallet cant take it anymore. To date I have aquired: 4 sets of spine cars a gagle of various containers 2 nttx cars 8 89ft flat cars 6 DOD 68ft cars 2 finger racks 6 60Ft flat cars Yikes........... Now I need to acquire the gondola, this flat car, and........... Keep up the good work, I am another happy customer. One of these days when the site allows for posting pictures I will post my yard full of AC stuff, Would you be interested in producing a schnable car??? I can lay my hand on a set of prints for such a beast.
Boy, would a Schnabel car in metal be HEAVY for a single car with a 10-pack of MT trucks under it... Alan, the QTTX cars look sweet! Great job!
KS, a Schnabel car could be a possibility, it would certainly have novelty value Jerry, the car is here thanks to your assistance. Watch for the postman
man what is this all this ttx and bn stuff, where's the Mopac???????????????/ just kidding, actually they will be getting plenty of those new flats.
