I stumbled across a pdf I had saved at some point. It is the IR V2 N2. There is no date on the publication. Anybody know what year this would have been done?
I am asking because an item in it is the Walthers Ortner hopper car. It is showing a price of $34.98 for a 3-pack. These were recently released again and the price is $44.98 each.
My how things have changed.

hbgatsf It is showing a price of $34.98 for a 3-pack.
Would that be wholesale or distributor pricing?

Is the $45 for one car or for the 3-pack?
We should probably be grateful that the hens aren't laying them. If they were the cost would be even more.

Can you right click your .pdf file and look at properties? You should have the date you saved the file in the metadata.
The same issue features the HO dynamometer car and that was — whew, a long time ago! (2001)
Good Luck, Ed

Bingo. PDF was created on 5/1/2001. Thanks for the tip.

One car. https://www.walthers.com/40-ortner-100-ton-open-aggregate-hopper-ready-to-run-csx-290201
Here is the section in IR.
A better price to have put in my original post would have been $11.98 for a single car compared to the new ones at $44.98 each. Although IR doesn't say I suspect those cars were kits as opposed to the RTR they recently released. I should have invested a bunch in those in 2001 and resold them today.

Heh -- problem with that line of thinking is every car ever traded in for a new one should have been carefully saved, no toy should ever be discarded, and every week's recycle bin contains ordinary product packaging that in enough decades will be an antique dealer's delight.
