Only down-side for them, perhaps, is that a lot of people might only buy one. But what if it's a LOT of people who only buy one? Ed |

I'm hoping that a lot of people buy at least one! I'll get one for sure...

These appear to be the same cars that E&P brought in in brass. They should be good for: NYC, PC, NH, LV, UP, B&O, MKT, MP, SLSF, ATSF, NKP, CR, PRR, NW, GE and I'm pretty sure SP, too. Maybe others. This depressed center car is likely the most common "common" design of any such car. Railroads (or anyone, even YOU) could buy the body from General Steel Castings, and build their own. This will be a big seller! Ed Ed...
According to Jim Eager on the MFCL, the new GSC 125T depressed center flat will be good for...
ACL (SCL), ATSF, B&O (CSXT), C&EI (L&N, MP), CofG (SOU, NS), D&H, DODX, ERIE (EL, CR), GM&O (ICG), IC (ICG), L&N (SBD, CSXT), LV (CR), MKT, MP, N&W (NS), NC&StL (L&N), NH (PC, CR), NKP (NW, NS), NSIX, NYC (PC, CR), PRR (PC, CR). PSIX, RDG (CR), RI, SAL (SCL), SLSF, SOO, SOU (NS), SP, SSW, UP, WAB (NW, NS).
That's a lot of railroads. Only down-side for them, perhaps, is that a lot of people might only buy one.

Since NC&StL had them they had to be built as early as 1957... when were the first built?

I will buy at least 4-5 and definitely will be an Erie RR and Erie Lackawanna. I need these HD flats!

The railroad I model, doesn't do intermodal, however, it is a neat looking car, and I have ordered one, I'm sure I can come up with an excuse for its existence.  |

I think the LV cars went right to junk in LV paint, the color guide shows one in storage that way on Conrail in 1988.
If they're not too many arms and legs I probably should have one (LV had two).

Ed This isn't a correction as you said "similar," just additional information. WM's four depressed center cars 6001-6004 were 52'-10" over strikers, compared to (IIRC) 57-58' for the car that Class One is doing. RDG and Erie also had cars with this body casting. |
