WTB HO Smooth side ore cars - Don Dunn - 09-26-2013

I am looking to buy a few old HO scale Roundhouse smooth side ore cars. Any road name is ok. Thanks

Don

I have 1 MDC ore car, and 4 cars that are almost identical but of another manufacture. Maybe Walthers or Athearn? I'll try to get a photo for you. 4 are patch painted for my B&P, and one is C&NW.

Depending on the quantity you want, I know there's a eBay store that sells a variety of MDC cars in undecorated and decorated schemes for a great price. It's called River City Railroad, here's their link: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://stores.ebay.com/RIVER-CITY-RAILROAD-RCR/PROJECT-CARS-/_i.html?_fsub=171782019&_sid=287414219&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322">http://stores.ebay.com/RIVER-CITY-RAILR ... 34.c0.m322</a><!-- m -->

If the link doesn't work, you can type in the eBay search box River City Railroad and look under the Project Cars tab for all the undecorated stuff. I've bought many undecorated cars from him, most recently a five pack of 40' gondolas for under $20. Mind you, some of these kits are different from the production model MDC stuff. For instance on my gons, the body is production but the underframe is a repro and not cast from metal but either resin or plastic. They do not come with kit boxes either but everything is packaged in plastic bags. All you have to supply is your choice of wheels and couplers.
