I'm not quite sure I understand your post, but since you are still under moderation, it cannot be quickly edited.

Trainworld still has Pennsy X31's

Modeltrainstuff has the 6 packs

There is nothing I can do about the currency exchange or the cost of shipping, but best of luck, you have good taste in railroads.

They are beautifully done cars.  The metal stirrup steps are a nice upgrade (and completely avoid my pet peeve of finding "new" cars with broken stirrup steps).

I have two and love them.

There are plenty of dealers in the state of Pennsylvania, USA, that have these in stock right now, including English's and The Station.

While the Rapido X31 boxcars are very nicely done, I can't justify the outlay needed to acquire one, when I can buy two similar cars, for a lot less, from Bowser.

With a few added details, at a very minimal cost, they won't look out of place even alongside the Rapido car...

The photo in my earlier post, above, is shown on-line elsewhere as a Rapido car.  While I did add some details to it, it is definitely a kit from Bowser.
