This and about two dozen other cars have re-entered revenue service from Chop's Chop Shop. I still have ten flats that I need to find loads for. Question: I fashioned rails for the tank cars (thank you, Justin), but am not clear on ladders. Did Tyco tank cars even come with ladders, for the most part? Any ideas on how to fabricate ladders??Edited by - Chops124 on June 01 2016 6:18:55 PM

I have some material from an AC that would help you with ladders...do you have tin snips and a mill file?
BTW....I know someone really close to me that has a rather snappy looking Bicentennial trail that those patriotic trailers would look awesome in the consist.
I'm just sayin'...;-)

I'll get you a closer shot of that one. The loads appear to be from a paper cut out kit of some vintage. Not sure they are even HO scale. I glued them on not knowing what else to do with all this empty acreage. I've got about another 9 flats to go.

Reminds me of the days when the car makers always had their big unveiling of the new models in the fall, and they were kept 'under wraps' until then.http://tycodepot.com/
