My understanding at one time, per Jim Hayes, was that at least one year after Martin released a kit, that the decals would be available for seperate sale. I wrote Sunshine on this a short while back and Martin's response was " we don't sell decals seperately". Guess I am confused.

I recently ordered some decals from Sunshine along with several kits to receive a refund check for the decals with a note stating "Sunshine does not sell decals other than chalk marks and reweigh data" (or something to that effect).

The Ft-G, I, J, L, M not TOFC version, Ft-N are all available from Sunshine Models. The Ft-L and N are not an AAR type car but a 50 foot car that was cut in half and lengthened to 53-6 and 10 feet wide in the 1946. The few Ft-L and N class cars were the first on the Santa Fe to go into TOFC service in 1954.

Wow, Ben! And think, I've never even heard of the East Coast SFH&MS --
how did you learn about them? :-)
The Ft-5 & Wt-3 from the below list are the only GSC flats in the bunch.
The Ft-G was an early 40' steel flat.
The Ft-I and Ft-J are (were?) Sunshine kits, with inboard fishbellies
(or however you'd describe them)
Do you know if the Ft-M is the TOFC version? -- many of these cars were
converted in 1957. They're interesting because they were 44'6" cars which
is shorter than most other TOFC conversions, and carried only 1 trailer.
Two Ft-M's were rebuilt in 1964 to carry B-52 tail fins, when they were
already 40 years old!
I'm not sure what an Ft-L is -- perhaps a 50 ton AAR flat? Some of them
were converted to TOFC service (e.g. 92759).
The Ft-V/Wt-V is the 70 ton AAR flat (Intermountain/Sunshine).
Wt-x of course are maintenance of way cars.
