I thought they were good from the mid 90's.

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 need sleep. I saw "post 1990" on the site and was thinking of decades, instead of 1991 being post 1990.  :facepalm:

The RTTX class was result of the TTX rebuilds right?

Correct... the KTTX program started ~1981/2, the RTTX program superseced it in 1985.  The model is good for post-1991 as it's the TTX scheme

Be cool to see some KTTX flats, or atleast some TT2 style hitches.

Got about 20 MT flats I've been kitbashing into other style 89ft flats.

KTTX I can do... but the TT2s (A frame hitch for those that don't know) weren't used on the F89Js that got converted to KTTX

But they would be nice parts for those of us doing MT cars or N Scale Kits cars...maybe a thought for the future from BLMA?

So who's going to post the first pictures?  I have to wait another week before my Chuck-pak arrives.  He shipped them yesterday, but it takes 7-10 days to get from Cali to Germany... :oops:

From the sounds of it, it looks like i might be adding more modern stock to my pool. I might just need to stock up on some brass tubing and black spray-paint to do some custom loads...  :D

The brown ones are due next month, so I'm holding out for an original, then will pick up a couple of the TT yellows at the end of the year.
