Using Tyco 40' flats with containers - part 1

Progress on trying 40’ Tyco flats for container service. The pipe retainer tabs have been ground flat with a Dremel tool. The car has been painted Trailer Train (TTX) yellow (Rustoleum Painter's Touch Golden Sunset gloss spray paint), then masked black for numbering. 1x1 SFS (Sanded Four Sides) molding (sold by the foot at Home Depot) has been cut to 34' to fit inside the tray. Next will be turning the wood molding into a container.
