Does any other company besides Microtrains make centerbeam flatcars? How about pulpwood flatcars? Ski
I know Con-Cor made a centerbeam at one point, but it wasn't very impressive. Also, Atlas makes pulpwood cars.
Jon is right about Con-Cor making a centerbeam car, but it wasn't bad after a bit of work. I modified it by rebuilding the ends to be like the more common variant, and was one of their better offerings. Unfortunately, I believe them to be rarer than hen's teeth. AC models makes a nice cast metal 60' 8" bulkhead flat kit, though not a centerbeam type. Gary.
I do believe I have one of the Con-Cor centerbeam flats, although where it's hiding is a different story. If I can find it, I may be willing to part with it, as I don't use it anymore.
Guys, I read rumor that Red Caboose will be making a 73' vesion of the centerbeam, due out in March. I gotta have me at least 5
Greetings, All I have a bunch of these (Con-Cor) I'd be willing to part with if anyone's interested, and also the bulkhead flats that were the basis for the centerbeam....email me... Jim Reising Visit The Oakville Sub http://members.aol.com/jereising/index.htm
