(BSC) F68-series of 100-ton, 68-foot long (over end sills) flats represented a new generation of high-capacity flats. Extremely versatile, the basic design could be equipped from the factory with various appliances to handle different loadings. At the end of 1969, BSC introduced the “F68BH” class of cars for trailer trains. The Rivet Counter™ HO Scale model is accurately rendered from builder drawings and photos, featuring road number-specific details like steel decks, transverse deck risers, MacLean-Fogg transverse tie-down apparatus, distinctive upright “finger racks” near each end, a complete underbody brake system with over 18 separately applied parts including the air reservoir, control valve, reduction relay valve and retainer valve, plus wire form plumbing and trainline piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ScaleTrains BSC Finger Rack Flatcar features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    Fully-assembled\u003cbr\u003e    Multiple road numbers\u003cbr\u003e    Factory-applied finger rack details\u003cbr\u003e    MacLean-Fogg tie-down details on decks\u003cbr\u003e    Decks with transverse risers\u003cbr\u003e    Early H-shaped jacking pads\u003cbr\u003e    Vertical handbrake staff and housing with finely detailed wheel\u003cbr\u003e    36” machined metal wheels\u003cbr\u003e    Complete underbody brake system including air reservoir, control valve, reduction relay valve, and retainer valve plus wireform plumbing and trainline pipe\u003cbr\u003e    Durable die-cast metal semi-scale long-shank Type E couplers\u003cbr\u003e    Highly-detailed 100-ton trucks with hydraulic snubber and bracket details, rotating Timken three-sided bearing caps, separate truck-mounted brake beams, and side bearing detail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HomeShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50885305139515,"sku":"1127-HFF013002","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/4117\/5355\/files\/CLE_Finger_Rack_Flatcar-6_1024x1024_2x_38588f02-7eb0-46d9-b9a9-9e50e1e068af.jpg?v=1767116517","url":"https:\/\/enginehouseservices.com\/products\/scaletrains-bsc-finger-rack-flatcar-cardinal-system-cle-76106-hff013001-ho-copy","provider":"EngineHouse Services LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
