SCALE TRAINS Rivet Counter HO Scale BSC F68CH-DH Flatcar Owner's Manual
Our Rivet Counter™ brand strives to create the most accurately detailed model
trains imaginable. The real-world counterpart is meticulously researched to
ensure prototype fidelity. Each model features numerous factory applied parts
including railroad, road number, and era specific™ details whenever possible.
In 1970, BSC introduced the F68CH-DH Flatcar as a variation of the F68AH
without the bulkheads. Trailer Train used the F68CH flatcars, painted yellow
with integral tiedown channels, hydraulic snubbers, and 36″ wheelsets in
100-ton trucks. Trailer Train also created the F68DH variant, with tie-down
tracks and a heavy-duty deck for securing loads like cable reels. Trailer
Train received four groups of F68DH flats between July 1971 and October 1973
from BSC, equipped with the same features as their other F68-series flatcars.
