Yup, they're Accucraft. She paid 175 including shipping for eight of um. I am probably going to use them to haul beer barrels on from The Olde South Brewery. I kinda want it to tie in with my Gn15 layout called The Georgia Beer Company. I'm open to ideas, though. I wasn't planning on using link and pin couplers on my indoor layout, but these cars are so cool, I can't change them, so link and pins it is. They will be more prototypical for my time period, anyway.

Cool. Those are ripe with potential. I did a series a few years ago using similar short passenger cars as a starting point. Can't wait to see what you put on top of them.

Brian, they're made by Accucraft. They aren't all that expensive, really.

Later,

Well, when you live like we do, a 7/11 is as good as a bank. LOL

I think she has good taste. Now I just need to figure out what bank she robbed.
