Built for the larger trailers in the 1960s, it's based on F89F flatcars. Over the years, it could carry 28', 40', 45', 48' and 53' trailers. The fully - assembled models come with awesome features: a one - time run of these road numbers with limited quantity, a heavy die - cast metal underframe for good performance empty or loaded, used from 1963 to now in piggyback and other services, prototypical C - shaped steel channel side sills, detailed brake gear, a swinging coupler pocket for 18' radius curves, correct 33' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets, and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers.
Using this HO scale flatcar is easy. You can place different sized trailers on it as per your model railway needs. When setting it on the tracks, make sure the coupler pocket aligns well for smooth movement on 18' radius curves. As for maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft brush to gently clean the wheelsets and the underframe. Check the couplers regularly to ensure they are working properly.
