Spookshow - Another Car to Add to Your Encyclopedia

The GN's first corrugated gons were built in 1966, so 1973 is definitely too late.

The oldest build date for the corrugated cars on the Trainworx site is 1960 (for the ATSF cars). Is that a misprint? Seems a bit out of line with all the others (1966+)

Thanks,

PWRS/NARC gondolas added -

I see that NARC is making their own Barber trucks now, so I guess I'll have to buy one of these cars in order to update my trucks page. How annoying is it that a PWRS employee has to call you in order to complete your web order? IIRC, the last time I placed an order with these guys they wound up calling me repeatedly with "special offers" until I finally told them to F off and leave me alone

This is just typical for them.   And normally, telling them to "F off" is their cue to start "accidentally" shipping you large shipments of freight cars and charging them to your card.  So then you get to fight with them and your cc company for months.   It's a real pleasure doing business with them.

Wow!

A model RR supplier using "hard sell" tactics... And Canadian-based!  Wow!

Anybody care to save me some PWRS misery and supply me with a picture of one the NARC trucks like so?



I really have no use for / interest in the cars.

Thanks,

Works for me - 1960 it is.
