Can anyone tell me how much it would cost to by certain cars at National Steel Car and Greenbrier. I curious to know how much railroads, leasing companies and industries have to fork over for the cars they use.

It depends on the car type. The CN just received a group of centerbeams and paid 75 k each. cars are getting pricey , no wonder RRs aren't buying.

How much are 60 foot Highcubes, 50 foot boxes, 3 bay centerflows and the coilcars from National Steel Car?

Also I was wondering about Greenbrier's Twinstack well cars, 53 foot well cars, automax cars, autoracks and the gondola?

I am running a freelanced model railroad and would be interested on getting the numbers and than for a hoot share the grand total if the cars were not HO.
