April, 2009 Announcements...
We are now taking pre-orders on these N scale runs. See your dealer! Deliver is set for Summer of '09. Projected MSRP: $24.95 for single cars, $49.90 for 2-packs.
86161 Pennsylvania single car, 86162 2-pack.
Delivered in 1966, this group of PRR cars was the largest batch ever delivered of this type of car. PRR had such a huge freight car fleet (over 112,000 cars of all types) that a typical mixed freight anywhere in the country was statistically certain to have some PRR cars in it!
86171 Penn Central ex-PRR single car.
PC 237851 had been delivered in PRR paint but shortly after the 1968 Penn Central merger, the car was renumbered and the PRR keystone covered by the new PC logo. Apparently the PRR tuscan red was in too good a shape to warrant repainting the whole car green... (Single only-no 2pk.)
86181 Frisco single car, 86182 2-pack.
Frisco served auto plants in Oklahoma and Missouri plus handled considerable bridge traffic from the Deep South to the Midwest and Southwest. The Frisco was acquired by Burlington Northern in 1980.
Products bearing Union Pacific, Rio Grande, Chicago & North Western, Cotton Belt, Western Pacific and Missouri Pacific marks
are made under trademark license from Union Pacific Railroad Company.
86191 Western Pacific single car, 86192 2-pack.
WP had a large Ford plant on line at Milpitas, California and forwarded parts from Midwestern parts plants to this facility. Since this group of cars was part of a large multi-plant pool, a number of WP cars could be seen moving parts between the South and Midwest as well.
