i just wanted to get y'alls opinions on LBF freight cars. i have purchased several of them and overall i am happy with them. they have good paint jobs and the extra details like the ladders and grab bars and other extra details make them really nice. for the price, you get a really nice, detailed freight car. the only problem i have with them is that there is usually an excessive ammount of flash on the trucks and coupler box parts, and that the weight is hard to place in the boxcars and get it to stay where you want it. <br /> <br />one tip for anyone thinking of building any of these cars is to drill the holes for the truck mounting screws and the underframe mounting holes completely through the body. <br /> <br />all i have built so far of theirs are the different boxcars and gondolas. i havent tried any of their coal hoppers yet
