Help Needed to ID Flatcar

My friends,

The medical community has told me that it is definitely time for me to start dispersing my accumulation of trains.  I started with my circus trains and have only a few left.  One of them is a custom painted RBB&B flatcar with a tractor-trailer rig hauling big top tent poles.  I have no idea where I obtained it.  The flatcar measures a scale 83 feet and has the letters "TJM" molded in the underside.  Anybody know who the manufacturer of the car is/was?

Thanks for your help,
Mark

Sounds like TJ Models.

'But the TJ model was 70 feet?

Mark,

That's definitely the car (with a different load of course).

I'm going to chalk up the discrepancy in reported length to my poor old eyesight.

Thanks for the help.
