Notes:
This flat car came with the barrel load. The road name came from Russ Downs' cat Tiffany. The base for the flat car is a Rex model, which is a tough metal that requires some special effort to drill and tap for the Kadee coupler, if you want to do that. If the product ID has an "H" or an "F" behind it, it is the hi-rail version; an "S" indicates the scale version.
