40' All Purpose Huskey Stack cars ?
Another unique 'kit bashed' prototype car has been spotted on the rails. These are All Purpose Huskey Stack (APHS) cars that have had the wells cut down to 40' length - and still have the trailer hitches on the ends !. See photo here: 40' 3-unit APHS car
These are 3-unit drawbar connected. Other types of 'cut downs' have also been spotted. Kit bashers - get to it ! Go to the N Scale Intermodal Forum to discuss this new prototype and ..... how to make a model ?
