68' DODX Heavy Duty Flatcar .

Price $19.99 .

FOR MILITARY EQUIPMENT


Flatcar fitted with 6-wheel trucks and body mounted couplers


Carrying two M1A2 Tanks. (Tanks not yet fitted with tie-down chains)


Shown on Alan Curtis' layout, and with the tank tied down

	This car is fitted with trucks in the scale position, and with body mounted couplers
	For comparison, this car is fitted with truck mounted couplers (trucks nearer end of car)

Below left is truck mounted coupler, and below right body mounted coupler. As trucks are not available without couplers, Alan Curtis cut off the coupler from the trucks and glued them to the body casting. This saves having to obtain separate couplers.

The cars look much better with the trucks in the correct position, and body mount couplers worked fine on my 12" radius curves. Holes are provided to mount trucks in either position. The trucks are M/T 1173. Trucks and couplers are not supplied with the kit
