(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\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ScaleTrains BSC Finger Rack Flatcar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple road numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-applied finger rack details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMacLean-Fogg tie-down details on decks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecks with transverse risers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly H-shaped jacking pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVertical handbrake staff and housing with finely detailed wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36” machined metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete underbody brake system including air reservoir, control valve, reduction relay valve, and retainer valve plus wireform plumbing and trainline pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable die-cast metal semi-scale long-shank Type E couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly-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\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HomeShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49106890359092,"sku":"HFF-014-002","price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0864\/8982\/5588\/files\/VO_Finger_Rack_Flatcar-3_1024x1024_2x_327f13ab-9558-4b3e-b578-e5d71155283c.webp?v=1777149736","url":"https:\/\/yankeedabbler.com\/products\/homeshops-hff-014-002-v-o-4795-ho-scale-virginian-ohio-scaletrains-bsc-finger-rack-flatcar","provider":"YankeeDabbler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
