Cool - thanks.If ya find info on the ones available in N I'd appreciate that too. ;DMT 60' Thrall (opera and I-beam )RC 73' (opera and truss)
The Northern Pacific had Centerbeam Flatcars in 1966 I think, but my memory of the date is vague. I can be more definitive when I review the article at home.
I'm guessing this Concor thing is a total foob - just a bulkhead with a center thing?
Actually, you do have a few. The original design came from CanadianNational, circa 1969, and the first cars were built by Thrall for NP/BN.Only about ten if memory serves. They were 60-footers with hexagonalopenings in the center girder. Thrall also built some considerably longerversions for the SCL around 1972 for hauling prefab steel roof trusses,like those used in big industrial warehouses.
