They were initially equipped with 10’, 11” tall end bulkheads with wood facing; wood deck with integral tie-down channels; and steel deck risers. These 100-ton cars came equipped with 36” wheels, trucks equipped with hydraulic snubbers (at opposite corners of the car), and 15” End of Car Cushioning (EOCC) to improve ride quality and reduce dangerous shifting loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell over 1,100 F68AH bulkhead flats were built before production of the design ceased in August 1974. Several are still in service today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe early builds featured an “H” shaped fabricated jacking pad at the bolsters. During the final two years of production, this changed to a fabricated box with an integral roping eye. All were built with transverse steel risers in the deck but this feature would start to be removed from the fleet after just a few years of service. While most cars featured a bulkhead face-to-face distance (inside length) of 62’, some cars were equipped with added bulkhead faces over the original bulkheads which reduced the inside length to 60’, 6”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTTPX series 80179-81178\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1973+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamples in original yellow and “TT”, “Trailer Train” branding have been noted in service to present day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified bulkheads (60’, 6” inside length)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo deck risers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate sidesills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate “box” style integrated jacking pad and roping eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional modeler-applied ACI plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLogo extension panels for “TT” logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-new model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst time in HO scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple road numbers per paint scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate laser-cut wood deck to be applied by the modeler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecessed deck tie-down details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecks with transverse risers, or plain decks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable die-cast metal semi-scale long-shank Type E couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100-ton trucks with hydraulic snubber and bracket details, rotating bearing caps, and truck-mounted brake beams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36” machined metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended radius: 22”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully assembled\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-applied metal grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-applied coupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrainline hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntricate brake plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched stainless steel see-through end crossover platforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinting and lettering legible even under magnification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor matched to existing Tru-Color Paint colors whenever possible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately profiled .110\" wide wheel tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighted to Industry standards for reliable operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates on Code 70, 83 and 100 rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging safely stores model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: Road number may vary from picture shown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ScaleTrains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37650642075814,"sku":"SXT31168","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/scaletrains-31169-rivet-ho-scale-bsc-f68ah-bulkhead-flatcar-trailer-train-yellow-ttpx-81146_1.jpg?v=1611717832","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/scaletrains-31168-rivet-ho-scale-bsc-f68ah-bulkhead-flatcar-trailer-train-yellow-ttpx-81127","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
