BLMA N Scale F-89-J PTTX 89 ft. Flat Car Matching Pipe Loads Coming Soon

Attention Customers:

Pacific Western Rail Systems is pleased to announce our agreement with BLMA to place a one time order for the matching pipe loads for these cars for modelers outside of the United States. These pipe loads are designed specifically by BLMA for the PTTX cars and are usually available only from BLMA.

Ordering these pipe loads through PWRS will allow our customers to take advantage of the PORTERS System and enjoy lower shipping costs and allow them to bypass the hassles of Customs if ordering from BLMA directly.

These cars are common in Western Canada delivering pipe to the Oil and Gas Industry as one example.


SPECIAL NOTE:

The first release of these cars is sold out at BLMA, however we have a limited number available for order. So if you have not ordered these or would like to order more, do so now as they will not last long.


Flat cars can carry almost anything, but these cars were purposely designed to carry pipe - and lots of it! Manufactured by American Car & Foundry, the 89' F-89-J Flat Cars were built in the late 1960's for intermodal service. By the 1990's, the Trailer Train Company had developed another use for these and other cars through the PTTX conversion program. Fitted with wood cross beams, the PTTX fleet was designed to accommodate pipe and bulk loads of varying diameter and weight. Featuring new, side mounted brake rigging and other PTTX specific details, these cars continue to roam the rails today carrying pipe and bulk loads of all kinds all over North America.



Below, after a rather shabby collection of auto racks, you will see one of the PTTX cars just ahead of the start of the well cars. You will also see some of the other TTX car variations used for similar purposes. Remember to look the unique side braces on the PTTX car.

The new version of this classically contemporary car includes all the quality features and attention to detail BLMA has included on their previous versions of this car.
