Re: prototype for Pemco 53-foot flatcar?

Which seems quite pointless now since there is an F-70-7 model and it's the
correct length of 53'6" ... By the way there's also an F-70-10 model (another
SP flat, but with a welded body) plus bulkhead and TOFC kits for both.

I checked my photos but I can't find any flat car with a 50'0" deck and 13 stake
pockets other than the PRR F30 which no one would mistake for the Tyco model. My
photos of fishbelly 50' flats show cars with 14, 15, or 16 pockets.

"It would be nice to find a prototype for the Tyco car as I have several of them in a box somewhere."
While this prototype is available from SPH&TS/Intermountain, Bruce Petty uses the Tyco cars as an inexpensive stand-in for SP Class F-70-7:http://www.lariverrailroads.com/flatcar.html
