WALTHERS FIVE-UNIT ALL PURPOSE SPINE CAR SET W/CONTAINERS AND TRAILERS TTX 932-13931 HO SCALE 

DICONTINUED AT WALTHERS.

This nice set comes to you from my personal collection. As with most of my trains, they have been only run once to test them. Such is the case with this Diecast Metal Spine Car Set. The set is in very good condition but the original box is a little beat up from shelf wear. I set up the consist on the mainline for the pictures. The pictures show the condition of the set. All modern diesel modelers will appreciate these well-made and prototypical cars. What I like most is the set comes complete with trailers and containers so you don’t have to go out and look for them! Nice addition to your roster.

Buyer pays shipping, Pay Pal preferred. Thanks for looking.

Product Information

Working with the railroads to determine their changing requirements, Trailer Train introduced the All-Purpose Spine Car in 1988. 

 

Equipped to carry containers and trailers at the same time, each of the five units has collapsible hitches and container locks. Trailers from 28 to 48' long or 40, 45 or 48' containers can be carried. The end (A&B) units have additional locks to carry a pair of 20' containers. Brake wheels are installed on each end unit, reducing the rigging needed to activate the hand brakes. Today, these all-purpose cars are state-of-the-art equipment, and can be seen running in general freights, or with other types of intermodal equipment. 

 

This model features a prepainted and lettered die-cast metal body for improved performance. 

 

Add-on brake gear hitches, container pedestals and other plastic details are included so the model can carry trailers or containers like the prototypes.
