TTX 12 axle depressed center flat car
Posted by IDAHOSURGE on Sunday, May 21, 2006 8:26 PM
Does anyone know if Model Railroader orRailroad Model Craftsman published any photos or technical drawings of a TTX 12 axle depressed center flat car? If so what month and year was the article published?

I am building two Alan Curtis Models of this car and I am looking for additional information regarding the placement of the brake system components on the decks.

Thanks and best regards!

There is an index of magazine that you can search, the link is at the topof the page. Unfortunately, when I try to go to it, it takes me to a page showing registration benefits, even though it has "Welcome ericsp" on the top of the page.

MRC did a story on the TTX flat a few years ago but it didn' show on the search above. The builder used Walther's hot metal car trucks.

Correction for my post above. The RMC atricle was for the 12 axle flat deck car. Sorry.
