Thanks for the insights! I thought it might be a question of non-standardized parts for the suspensions and radial steering. Two reasons I am interested in these cars is 1) I read where TTX is modifying some older 48' platform spine cars into 53' platform cars, and thought if they could justify the costs of that, they could take a look at doing similar modifications to the lower tare TTOX cars (assuming they haven't all been scrapped), and 2)Swedish railcar maker K Industrier AB just came out with a two unit paper hauling car (called the Hiqqrrs-vw011) which has the rigid single axles on each unit, so the idea of saving tare weight by using single axles isn't anethema in Europe. Here's the link for anyone interested: <br /> <br />www.kindustrier.se/Products/Freight/index.htm <br /> <br />Regards
