New PRR MT passenger truck

...you seem to have a specialty for TOFC flatcars of all vintages, here is one I would like to see

Getting off topic - but don't know how to switch the headings - apologies.

Thanks for this link. Do you know whether there are significant differences between the Ft-Ta and Ft-Tb? Do you  know how the deck was arranged - was it open as the Southern [and latterly NS] ToFC cars, with nailable ends where the trailer wheels were located http://www.nscalekits.co.uk/NSToFC.html or was it boarded fully either with nailable steel or wood? If there are pictures of these cars you can point to, I would be very interested.

Peter,  I started a new thread "Ft-T and other early ATSF TOFC", so we can leave the PRR truck folks to get back to their discussions.

Follow the links to the Kansas Memory sight and there are many pictures of various trailer flats. Looking at the Folio's the main difference between the A abd B was the rub rails.
