Model Railroading > Walthers G85 piggyback trailerDate: 02/27/21 13:14 Walthers G85 piggyback trailer Author: rschonfelder I just took delivery of this car and what looked like a simple procedure of putting in the hitch, turned out to be not as obvious as I thought. They are supposed to go inside the open channel but the hitches are wider than the width opening. There are no explosion diagram for the car which might have provided a hint. Does this require some sort of disassembly?

I just had my first round of cataract surgery so I think I will leave this minor assembly until I get some stability after the second eye and can use my optivisor.. I've lost all of my near sightedness so modelling is out right now.
