    Just before Christmas I put on a bid for seven pieces of US rolling stock for Jack's plank. Lucky for me, no one else put a bid on ! :thumbs:

    Well, I took delivery of these on Thursday morning and all I can say is they are excellent models. I managed to pick each model up for $5.55 each.

    These two reefers below, I can't seem to find anything on them. Maybe someone here may know ?? They have steel wheels, Kadee couplings and are very well detailed.

    These 'Deleware & Hudson' boxcars below, I have seen retailing for $40.00 Au... Bargain !

    and these three...,

    The P&LE single door box car I believe is a Walthers Proto 2000 model (preassembled as theer are no glue marks whatsoever), then again, I could be wrong ! The two Conoco tank cars I have no idea who manufactures these. I have search for them on the net, but no luck. All three of these wagons have steel wheels, excellent detail and Kadee couplers. The couplers on the tank wagons have had their tails cut off, so I need to replace these.

    Cheers, Gary.

    Great pick up Gary Jack must be happy.
    Seems it's a good time to buy on line at the moment I had a similar result before Xmas items going for the starting price because no one else bid.

    The first two could be intermountain cars and the two tanks are probably proto 2000 models as they did these Conoco tanks cars as kits and then walthers did them as RTR. But it doesn't really matter as they were bargins no mater who produced them.:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

    Great buy Gary,
