where can i buy these?

-steve

I was looking online and saw the Conrail two pack and single on eBay from a hobby dealer I've dealt with in the past (kbj99).  I'm sure Kleins will have them in a day or two, but I couldn't resist... ::)  There will be more in the near future.

Also, they should be commended for engineering a coupler solution and not just using the MT long shanks.


Tale a look at the Walthers HO 86 footers, and you'll see where they got that from ;)

Robbman, Not only that, but, Roco and other European models have used that mounting for decades!

You can order the cars from just about any dealer with a decent n scael presence.

I beleive a little glue will be necessary as I tried to pop the roof back in and it wouldn't. The roof doesn;t look warped but it's that snug a fit.

Picked out one of my Christmas presents today in the form of one big ol brown boxcar with Conrail markings. 

Seems my favorite pusher ordered two of the cars (other is a UP 8 door) to show to the local N scalers so it probly won't have any factory air in the jewel case once I get it.But I can live with that. ;D
