| Pennsylvania Railroad #470165 |
|
|
This is Micro-Trains model of the PRR's F30 class indicates a built date of September 1929. The prototype photo of this 50-foot flatcar, road
number 470132, came from the PRR
Railfan web site. The model sits a bit too high compared to the prototype, and the brake wheel is in the wrong place.

| Seaboard #47289 |
|

The Seaboard F6 class flatcar model was manufactured by Atlas. Although the model is a bit "rough", with some work I have been able to make
it look more like a true model. The photo below is with all the changes applied. The model indicates a built date of June 1940. All info
appears to be correct, except for the road number. It should have been between 47000 and 47099. Statistical information about this flat car
can be found on the Seaboard Air Line 1942 Rolling Stock Summary web
site.

An Atlas model of a 50-foot fishbelly flat car. I bought it "used" and it looks like it already has had some weathering applied, but more is
needed.

This is a Micro-Trains 50-foot fishbelly flat car model. The previous owner attached a 40-ft Exxon tanker trailer to the car. Looks very nice.
The flat car is dated July 1941.

This Micro-Trains car is identical to the PRR flat car at the top of the page, except, of course, for the road name and number. I didn't buy
the model "new", but it did come with a nice load of stacked wood. It lists no build date, but the
UMTRR web site indicates that the model represents the
renumbered unit sometime during the 1920's.

This Micro-Trains car is identical to the PRR flat car at the top of the page, except, of course, for the road name and number. I didn't buy
the model "new", however it came with a load that looks like a diesel locomotive's engine. Very cool! The built date on the side of the car
indicates October 1952.

This Micro-Trains car is identical to the U.S. Air Force flat car above. This, too, was not a "new" purchase, but it did come with a covered load.
It is anyone's guess as to what's under the tarp. The built date on the side of the car indicates July 1953.

You guessed it, yet another Micro-Trains car that is identical to most of the ones above. This pre-owned model came with two bulldozers.
