I need more. More More More! These will look great with Athearn 28' pups.
I have to get started on my MTL 89' rebuild article.

There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

I was just about to ask "Where are mine?" when I remembered that they're no good for 85.

C'mon 85 schemes!

Chulvis,

Why is the end hitch collapsed? I thought on the RTTX the end hitches were fixed, and the center one was collapsible.

Guessing the flats come with the hitches installed.

They come in a seperate bag and have pins to mount them, there are two ends and a up and down collapsible one.. The collapsible one on the end is actually used in the middle, while the one that goes there is a twin to the one on the other end.

Ok, so he just installed them in the wrong spots.

Recieved my six pack this week & they're Awesome! :D  Home Run Craig! Another fine RTR model for N scalers!

Now Craig, can we convince you to sell your flat & spine hitches separately as a detail accessory?  Just a thought.  I know there are a bunch of us on RW have Allen Curtis flats & spine car kits assembled and would love to use your hitches instead of the cast hitches from the kits.  Two reasons  1)Yours look better! 2) They're prepainted!   Any other RW members interested chime in please!

As James already mentioned, Craig is already selling them direct only.  Here's the link:
