Rapido Class F30D 50' Concrete Tie Car w/ Load (138306A) | Single | Fairmont Tamper | HO Scale

(No duplicate road numbers)

The Pennsylvania Railroad’s class F30A flatcars was one of their most prolific classes of flatcars with 1500 being built between 1933 and 1934. The PRR utilized a massive one-piece steel casting for these F30 flatcars, and that sturdy construction meant that many of these cars lasted an incredibly long time, often with a second life in work train (MOW) service.

Tie Cars:

Several ex-TTX F30 flat cars were purchased by BN and converted to carry concrete ties. Most are still in service with BNSF today! Our tie car model is based on these BN/BNSF conversions and features a correct deck, tie rack and decorated concrete crosstie load.

Features:

• Die-cast chassis and deck for optimum weight
• Correct trucks (PRR 2E-F10, roller-bearing converted or full roller-bearing trucks)
• Turned metal wheels
• Rapido’s semi-scale couplers
• Full brake rigging

• Semi-scale metal knuckle couplers
• Free-rolling trucks with profiled metal wheelsets
