BLMA - Announces a NEW MODEL - The TTX F89-J Flatcar with RTTX Reporting Marks
The Prototype
Built for Trailer Train by ACF between 1966-68, the visually unique “F89-J” 89’ Flat Car was produced for TOFC service and was the only standard-height, bowl deck car of this design by ACF. Easily identified as a common asset in the vast TTX car fleet, over 1,600 F89-J’s haul trailers, pipe, rail, bulk loads, and hundreds remain in service today! Not easily confused with any other 89’ flat car, pre-order your F-89J’s and add flair to your freight roster!
RTTX Cars (1990's+)
With over 1,600 F89-J's in TTX's roster, these cars have served in numerous freight hauling capabilities. As modeled, our RTTX (post 1990's TTX paint scheme) F89-J's feature the ultra-common "Triple 28'/Twin 45'" trailer configuration. Furthermore, each model comes with road number-specific deck and paint detail! Got trailers? Load'em up!
The Models
Like all BLMA projects, our research began with builder drawings, actual dimensions, and thousands of photographs. As the first F89-J produced in any scale, these fine-scale models replicate the unique, ribbed-side design of the prototype and feature class-specific hitch, deck, and brake detail...not to mention, accurate lettering per prototype!
Along with the fine-scale attention to detail you've come to know from BLMA Models, these models ride on 70-Ton trucks and fine-scale metal wheels! Furthermore, these models feature body-mounted Kadee #58 scale couplers.
Features Include:
• Ready-To-Run
• Die-Cast Metal Frame
• Fine-Scale Detail
• Accurately Painted/Printed (multiple variations!)
• Collapsed & Raised Center Hitch
• Prototypical Ride Height
• Era-Specific Cut Levers
• 70-Ton Trucks
• Fine-Scale Metal Wheels
• Body-Mounted Kadee #58 Couplers
• Six Unique Road Numbers!
