Re: Roco/AHM Freight Cars, was Re: 6 Dome wine tank cars

While the Roco Depressed Center Flat has been rereleased by E-R Models (and perhaps Walthers) after AHM stopped
using Roco and went to Mehano and the Orient for freight cars, I don't believe that the Flat Deck car was ever rerun.
Which is a shame because IMHO it was the nicer of the two cars. "Back in the Day" I had one of each and must have
picked them up at one of the fabled Woolworth's sales. IIRC they had different style trucksappropriate for each.
There are still some of the Flat Deck cars kicking around in AMTRAK service, hauling trucks and prime movers between
shops.
