Sorry but we are SOLD OUT of this item and have no stock left.
There are 2 Flatcars offered for sale, both with McHenry knuckle couplers. A photo of each car is displayed in the "details" section. See also the enlarged photos of each box.
Please select which box & road number you want by clicking on "Details" and choosing from the drop down list.
The models are in original new "Level 1 Quality" condition but they are enclosed in cardboard boxes with John Deere imaging. The glue holding the boxes together has dried and so one of the boxes has been sellotaped together. However the cars have never been run or removed from their plastic packaging. There are no cracks in the boxes, which are the originals.
These cars were manufactured in 2005 and are collectors items. They have sold for as much as $79 USD on eBay so they are priced here as collectibles. They are only being offered for sale as yellow TTX cars are too modern for the 1960's layout.

Prototype History:
General Steel Castings (GSC) made the underframes for the Pennsy F30. They decided to create their own product by modifying the Pennsy design. They stretched the design to 53 foot, 6 inches and made the entire body a single casting. The resulting car was manufactured starting in the early 1950s was initially sold as a kit to railroads and only late offered as a complete ready-to-run car. The car was offered in both bulkhead and non-bulkhead versions based on customer requirements.
One of the most common of all flat cars, these rugged designs were in service from the 50s to the 90s and a few still operate today. Built around a large one-piece steel casting, the prototypes could handle a wide range of cargo and were often rebuilt for piggyback loading. These cars are equally at home hauling machinery, steel slabs and more. They were also fitted with bulkheads and handled loads such as lumber and pipe, and a few roads even outfitted them with log bunks for hauling freshly cut timber.

Owned by North America's leading railroads, TTX's free-running pools provide fungible assets that minimize total empty miles, further lowering costs and minimizing risk for the industry, helping the railroads conserve their capital for other critical infrastructure needs. Customers easily recognize TTX's bright yellow cars as a consistent, high quality, well-maintained fleet that serves many transportation needs.
