History
The 6404 flatcar with automobile is an uncatalogued freight car
produced for only one year -- 1961. Although the flatcar and
single auto were considered a low-end freight car, it has
become an extremely difficult -- if not rare -- train to locate.
Although there are no variations to the flatcar, the automobile was produced in four different colors. The colors -- in order of difficultly to locate -- are as follows:
Features
The 6404 flatcar contains the following standard features: unpainted
black 'General-style' flatcar, white lettering plus arch-bar trucks

a wire truss rod on the bottom of the flatcar -- but many documented
original examples have been found without the truss rods mounted to
the flatcar.
Regarding the single automobile, all original examples included gray bumpers and was secured to the freight car with a single gray elastic band.
