If I wasn't already up to my eyeballs in bulkhead flats I could sure go for those. Yummy!

Exactly my sentiments!  With a layout capacity of about 140 cars and storage drawers filled with about 2X that, it is hard to justify, but man those wood decks look great.

About all I buy is the best of the MT weathered cars that fit my era, but as tempting as they are, I have to draw the line somewhere.

Do those bulkhead flats come with body-mounted couplers?

I got a set and used them on my V&O flat. They look good, but I do recommend doing a little additional work to dress them up (notching the ends a bit to simulate board ends a bit better, darkening the ends, and scribing in some board lines). They are stellar starting points though.

@Rossford Yard  Do you?   :P :trollface:    Drawing lines isn't your strong point.   :D

I would take one of the UP cars if you want to split up a 3-pack.

I really haven't regretted leaving Conrail and Penn Central in N scale behind...until now. I'm jealous as hell!
