Well those will make some 1970s-1980s era modelers happy . . .

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Oh yeah! I dig the Sea-Land trailers. Can anyone give me a rundown on ATPs for the different schemes?

Yes - '60s, too.

[sigh] PFE. Gawd, PFE. So much wallet pressure.

Just what I was wanting Trailer Train brown straight sill flats!! and it much more!! This is awesome stuff. I'm going to build some racks for the 85' flats that will be removable so the flats can be used for auto and TOFC service.

[unittrain]

Just checked out the 2 other flyers! jaw on floor!

[bbussey]

Are the 85' straight-side flats appropriate for bi-level racks?  That would be an interesting kitbash to do.

Yeah they used 85' flats I have a 12-1962 Trains magazine and it says 85' flats were used, there is a picture of an autorack mounted on a flat like the trainworx car. It also shows the F89A flats too.

Ouch, This one is going to hurt. Mr. Wallet is going to feel it.

Does that mean that the Trailer Train (brown) model from last year (28545-07 to -12) with a fish belly sill is incorrect?

Or am I misinterpreting your statement?

No there both correct as far as I know, I have 2 brown and 2 yellow Trailer Train fishbelly flats

Trailer Train had both bodystyles, originally painted brown and later repainted yellow.  The straight-sill is the later version and I verified with Pat that it was used for bi-level and tri-level auto-rack duty.

I've tried to locate some information regarding the history of the Sea-Land schemes with little luck, so far.

I'm in for this one -

BTTX   Trailer Train   474708   X   Empty   AC      1000      2531      7/28/1965

It's the only F85b I can find in my list used for autos. 

That does it, I'm going to see if I can find the drawings for the F89CH.  Kickstarter campaign pending.

I've been looking, too, but to no avail so far.  I sure would like to know that information, because the Seaboard System, if not hauling Sea-Land trailers, absolutely hauled Sea-Land double stack containers.  I'd like to get a fix on schemes.
