Walthers also makes flat deck heavy-duty, flat deck flatcars (932-5640 series). Eastern Car Works makes a 90-ton, 2 truck, depressed center flat car (117-4800) that could probably be modified to look like a modern 2 truck, depressed center flatcar. Backmann makes a 2-tuck, DC flatcar that looks toy like.

They are attached by Phillips head screws. The cars come assembled except for the grab irons.

Thanks HF, this is what I was looking for.

Does anyone know how trucks are attached ? By screw or snapped-in ?
