Oh ok.1mtvfan wrote:just means it is going off on an angle from the standard
So you said buying a used one for TigerTankFan is an option?
Re: Train sets!
at some point, yes, but not right away, if you mean about the 89 flat.

Re: Train sets!
I'm okay when it comes to having an all-purpose flatcar, as I don't have enough model containers or trailers to use on this car.

Well I wish you luck TigerTankFan in getting one.
Re: Train sets!
will have to look hard, and get as much help as i can, as an "all purpose" flatcar is a rare find now

Not used ones....
Re: Train sets!
even used ones can be tough to find, but not as hard as find new ones

Re: Train sets!
as MTVfan has said, all purpose flatcars (and the very similar all-purpose spine car) are outdated technology now and have been mostly replaced by the all-purpose well car on the real railroads.

What is this all purpose 'well car' you all speak of?
Re: Train sets!
I will see if I can find a picture to post on here, but its a type of rail car that can carry road-going trailers as well as shipping containers.

Re: Train sets!
Wow that does offer a very indef description of it, as well as photos, I did see one photo where all purpose flat cars were being used alongside well cars.
Re: Train sets!
it is a sign of the times unfortunately, Spine cars, and flat cars of the "all purpose" type can only carry one container, or one trailer, where as a Well car can carry two containers a piece, so that can mean much more cargo is moved in one train. But both are used together in many applications. also, more pics of the set up, and the phase 3 project are following these words

Cool photos.
Yes it is unfortunate about the flat cars as well .

Re: Train sets!
everything has a time in the spotlight, and then it is time for something else, and that's the way of the world, so there is little that can be done about it, again, apologies if the pics turned out blurry, i took them with my tablet from a distance

Re: Train sets!
