Of the products are coming from the same supplier, it would be possible. Otherwise different products come from different suppliers in other boxcars.
Hi all.
Would you ever see a boxcar sent to a customer carrying a mixed load? Like cases of tools, pallets of feed, crates of pipe fittings, etc? A full carload of mixed freight to a single vendor as opposed to a freight house or team track?
On my layout, I plan to have some sort of general supply/feed & seed store, and I'd like to have it receive carloads of stock, but you'd never see an operation of it's size getting, say, a boxcar full of hammers. It'd take forever to sell through!
So would something like that actually happen in reality, or will I be sending the store's inventory to the team track? If it matters, I'm modeling the mid-30's.
