Been test building the first 89' 4" TOFC flat. Thought a few pics were warranted.

I don’t see a pilot hole for a body mounted coupler. Are these then designed to take the MT extension coupler, the one that clips around the truck?

BTW, will Traincat goodies be on display at Springfield this year?

I seem to recall some chatter between Russ & Bob that these were sized for MLE hitches (good call).  Don't know about container shoes.

Bob was made aware of the need for container shoes, in another thread by Ian.

Looks like the ACF car. They were introduced in the late 60s.

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

There is a shim plate with the mounting hole. Won't be at Springfield this year due to schedule conflicts at work.
