mlescalemodels@sbcglobal.net

Hiches are supplied in a flat etched sheet and require bending, assembling and painting. Decals shown are not supplied but some hitch decals are available on Microscale sheet #60-822 Hitches can be altered at any time to be either raised or collapsed, and lock securely in place. The N-02 hitches [shown on the left] are a drop fit on the 53ft spines, but some modification is needed (filing) on 48ft spines. The N-01 is recommended for the Triple-57 Long Runner. On 89ft flatcars the N-01 hitch should be set in the more vertical position.

and container pedestal hatch covers. Set includes enough parts
to outfit all 5 platforms of a 48' spine car.
