Bulk purchase of 143 reefer cars. Athearn base that are custom Painted by a company called Show Me. These were part of the California Dreamin' series. Documentation says there were 18 different designs. I got 15 of them in this lot. BUT I can count seven others in one of the original magazine ads for them. Don't know what is up with that. I had been looking for the CalOra car for years, but actually forgot about this brand when the YesterYear company came out with the same design with better graphics and on a better quality car. Almost all the cars have at least one, and most often more, stirrups broken off. But I knew this before I purchased, and got them less than $2 a car. What I don't have is the ice hatch covers! I'll have to get a huge batch 3d printed.This thread would pertain to any Model Railroad related items you ordered and received for your MRR or other.
So include your picture and tell us about it and even give your review or reasons for obtaining the item or items
At that price you should have bought 2!This was on sale for $32, how could I say No.
That was the last one.At that price you should have bought 2!
That sounds like a great deal, congratsI found these gems a week ago, bid on something like this previously but it got jacked up over $30! These details were a "buy it now" item and listed at $15.00, which is just about the original price! Usually these older items go way above the original price.
Now I have to revamp my thinking on the logging scene I am planning for my layout

In the ad it was only a picture of the cover, I couldn't really tell what the contents were cause the pic was too small, but I needed the cant hooks for sure

More than enough details included. I did not even know there was such a thing as a steam powered buck saw
