Bachmann TOFCs in (finally) at MBK

Pricey at $28 a pop, but probably the only way at this point to snag the trailers.  When they were on Amazon at 50%-75% off MSRP, I bought some for the trailers and sold the flatcars on eBay where they fetched $10-15 a pop.  So, if you really want one of the trailers, you can shave at least $10 off by selling the flatcar (which is almost cartoonish in appearance).  Low quantities on hand.

I'll hold out for a better price or a trailer-only release.

Even worse at $49 retail. Ouch. I wonder if they would look any better with the 1/8 thick deck taken off of them and replaced with something thin.

I paid $22 for mine. They're very free rolling. I plan to swap out the couplers at some point, and probably see about making that deck a little less ugly, but I have so many projects and so little time.

Where did you find them for $22? That is cheaper than I can get them from distributors for our shop.
