The Prototype
Built for Trailer Train by ACF between 1966-68,
the visually unique F89-J 89 Flat
Car was produced for TOFC service and was the only
standard-height, bowl deck car of this design by
ACF. Easily identified as a common asset in the
vast TTX car fleet, over 1,600 F89-Js haul
trailers, pipe, rail, bulk loads, and hundreds
remain in service today! Not easily confused with
any other 89 flat car, pre-order your
F-89Js and add flair to your freight
roster!
RTTX Cars (1990's+)
With over 1,600 F89-J's in TTX's roster, these
cars have served in numerous freight hauling
capabilities. As modeled, our RTTX (post 1990's TTX
paint scheme) F89-J's feature the ultra-common
"Triple 28'/Twin 45'" trailer configuration.
Furthermore, each model comes with road
number-specific deck and paint detail! Got
trailers? Load'em up!
The Models
Like all BLMA projects, our research began with
builder drawings, actual dimensions, and thousands
of photographs. As the first F89-J produced in any
scale, these fine-scale models replicate the
unique, ribbed-side design of the prototype and
feature class-specific hitch, deck, and brake
detail...not to mention, accurate lettering per
prototype!
Along with the fine-scale attention to detail
you've come to know from BLMA Models, these models
ride on 70-Ton trucks and fine-scale metal wheels!
Furthermore, these models feature body-mounted
Kadee #58 scale couplers.
