i forgot to add i got one atlas car for christmas, it is a bcr 60 foot box car, also got a cpr derrick car by athearn. i got my first walthers train line car,a cpr caboose.
i was very impressed with them all, I still do not liek the fact they do not use a good coupler system. have to change them out.
so my list of non kit cars is growing more and more to the ready to use car.
Atlas Cars
Warren Tanker car ( sure looks nicer than the athearn bluebox kit car) metal wheels......sold me on that change to the rest o the fleet ver the next year or so
BCR box car
Walthers
CNR auto carrier ( long box car ) 2 of them
CP 60 foot box car
Kadee
CN 60 foot box car ( only one with kadee couplers stock imagine that)
Bachmann
Sask Grain car
Walthers Trainline
CPR Caboose
Athearn
CPR derrick flat car
ready
The list is growing I did not think I would be getting into so many ready out of the box models
I figured when i started this post it would set soem fires and burn, but no one seems too negative about the topic. ready out of the bo is not for everyone but I still like my kit cars as many do
