The Walthers Mainline 910 - 5729 89 - foot Channel Side Flatcar Trailer - Train KTTX #151012 in HO scale is a gem for model train enthusiasts. This model was specially crafted for the larger trailers that entered service in the 1960s, making it essential for period inter - modal modeling. Based on the F89F flatcars owned by Trailer Train and many railroads, it has carried trailers of various sizes like 28', 40', 45', 48' and 53' over the years. Key features of the fully - assembled models are: a one - time run of these road numbers with limited quantity available; a heavy die - cast metal underframe for excellent performance whether empty or loaded; used in piggyback and other services from 1963 to the present; prototypical C - shaped steel channel side sills; detailed brake gear; a swinging coupler pocket suitable for 18 - foot radius curves; correct 33' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets; and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers.

Using this HO scale flatcar is easy. Just connect it to your model train set using the Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers. You can place different sized trailers on it, just like the real ones. When handling it, be gentle with the swinging coupler pocket and the detailed brake gear to avoid damage. For maintenance, keep it clean from dust. You can use a soft brush to clean the wheels and the underframe. Store it in a dry place to prevent the metal parts from rusting. And remember, since it's a limited - quantity item, handle it with care.
