ACL P Series 40' flatcars Part 3 - The P-9, P-11 and P-15 Workhorses

 

Work continues on the P-9/11/15 series of 40'-41' flat cars using the Tichy Train Group 4040 flat car kit base. These cars were infinitely useful for the ACL and served well into the 1970s as Maintenance of Way cars. Of the thousands of cars constructed, only a handful of cars remained in revenue service, while hundreds were faithfully serving the road crews, bridge and signal departments, and road masters with the maintenance of the line.

The cars as shown have their ACL number drawn on the decking for ease of identification. Some of these still require additional detailing with Archer Fine Transfer rivet decals, but are otherwise ready for paint.
