MTH Premier O Scale freight cars are the perfect complement to any manufacturer's scale proportioned O Gauge locomotives. Whether you prefer to purchase cars separately or assemble a unit train, MTH Premier Rolling Stock has the cars for you in a variety of car types and paint schemes.

Virtually every sturdy car is offered in two car numbers which makes it even easier than ever to combine them into a multi-car consist. Many of MTH's Premier Rolling Stock offerings can also operate on the tightest O Gauge curves giving them even more added versatility to your layout.

Between 1964 and 1975, Trailer Train (now known as TTX Co.) acquired a fleet of 5,000 modern 60' flat cars. Similar cars are rostered by most major U.S. railroads. Built by ACF, Thrall, and Pullman Standard, the TTX cars were assigned to various classes to handle loads as diverse as auto frames, logs, military vehicles, farm equipment, and construction equipment. Based on the TTX class F60GH cars built in the mid-1970s by Pullman Standard, this Premier model is built to full-scale 60' length and accurately replicates the prototype's wooden decking and four rows of tie-down tracks, two astride the center sill and one along each side.

  • Separate metal grab irons and stirrups
  • Full brake system with air pipes, levers, valve, cylinder, and air tank
