Back to the earlier request, two parallel trains!

Pennsy GP9's with a coal drag next to NYC GP40's with a mixed freight.

More parallel trains!

Although too early for my 1970's era, the 1060 Fords look quite nice!

Yes, warped and bowed floors were a problem on both the bi-level and tri-level cars.  It seemed to affect more of the tri-levels than the bi-levels.

Apparently on the tri-levels it was attributed to the metal weight being bent.  If you could disassemble the flat car and bend the weight flat, and re-assemble, they would be fine.

You mean bi-level ?

 

Embarrassed  Oops, yes. I'm so used to saying "tri" that I didn't proof my own post. Embarrassed

I originally had some Accurail kits. These were pretty decent especially for the price. I loaded one tri-level up with some Classic Metal Works '64 Chevies. This was back when the METAL in metal works carried some weight — and I mean weight! The car weighed about 1.25 lbs with fifteen autos on it.

MB Klein had a sale on Classic Metal Works 1960 Ford F-100s a couple years ago and that's when I jumped on them. These Fords are plastic and very nicely painted.

I recall seeing something on other forums about warped floors. I didn't notice any problems on mine.

Steaks on a flat? I'm getting hungry!

Fords on a tri-level auto rack.

Show me more rubber tyred vehicles on railroad cars, please. 

You mean bi-level ?

On hind sight I wish I would have bought one of those green NYC Bi-level flats, but alas they are long gone.  I did get the IC, N&W, SLSF and Wabash.  Many of the flat cars underneith the racks from that run were warped or bowed so it took some doing to find some that were truly flat.

What auto's are those?  They look 1960's era?  I collected enough Atlas 1970's era Ford F-100's to do two bi-levels so far.

Well, not quite intermodal, but an Ulrich kit I recently completed for positioning on our club's MOW storage area.Cowboy

More trucks / intermodal stuff would be great!
