BLMA
has scheduled an early 2014 release
date for its ACF F89-J JTTX series 89' flat cars. The JTTX designa-
tion emerged when TTX realized the need for cars suitable for
carrying bulk loads. In the 1990s many F89-J cars were re-con-
figured from trailer to bulk load hauling. The JTTX fleet was the
predecessor to the PTTX specialized pipe hauling cars. The BLMA
models will have a number of prototype specific JTTX details
such as deck modifications with wood beams, lower brake rig-
ging, and specific paint and lettering schemes. The models will
be equipped with Kadee #156 knuckle couplers, and 70-ton
trucks with 33'' metal wheelsets. The HO scale ready-to-run
F89-J JTTX cars have an MSRP of $39.95 each.
