AAR 53' 6", 70-Ton Flat Car
(11) roads bought the AAR "War Emergency" 70-ton, 53' 6" flat car between 1942 and 1948, including ATSF, B&O, CNJ, Pere Marquette (repainted C&O in late 1950s), IHB, NYC and Wabash. (Erie's cars had fewer Z-angle nailers and a different nailing pattern on the deck but were otherwise the same ... you'll need to make those changes to your kit ... Southern's 500 cars had 19 stake pockets). Many were modified over the years to haul containers, pulpwood, automobile frames, etc. Some roads added bulkheads. Many lasted in revenue service as-built well into the1970s ... others survived in MofW service into the 1990s.
Each kit includes 1-pc urethane underframe, steel weight (hidden in centersill during assembly), cast urethane deck with nail holes, separate AAR-style stake pockets, Kadee 802 couplers, wire and detail parts. A mini-CD contains 16 pages of instructions with roster info from Ed Hawkins and weathering ideas for the deck.
