Another train I'm trying to build, is a Trailvan intermodal train (or an Amtrak MAIL train, which tended to look like just another Conrail Trailvan). I'm hoping to get a few more flat cars.
Another problem is the flatcars themselves. SO far, 5 of my 7 flat cars are Atlas "flush deck" flatcars. These are really nice, but its clear in photographs that many 89' flatcars are of the "channeled" variety, and most seem to be the F89-F class, as well as a few of the F89-J types.

Chris,
Have you looked at the Accurail 89' piggyback flats? Also Walthers Scenemaster has some 40' trailers that will fit your era..
This scan may be of interest to you, it was on the back of the instruction for the Accurail 89' flats.
