Cool site with lots of good information. Interesting that real rolling stock has minimum radius requirements just like scale models.

Quite interesting.

Greenbrier seems to have its historical roots in the Gunderson Company.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Greenbrier_Companies

The company entered the freight rolling stock business in 1958, with a successful bid to construct 200 boxcar underframes for the Southern Pacific Railroad. The business was successful and profitable, and the order expanded with Gunderson eventually building over 2,000 frames in the first contract.[10]

Along the lines of the Edward G. Budd Co. Gunderson began by manufacturing steel automobile wheels.

Regards, Ed

Now those are some really superdetailed pieces of rolling stock. Unfortunately it all seems too modern for my era.

.

A friend of mine could use one of those "Plate F" boxcars. I was thinking of getting him one for Christmas, but I could not find where the prices are listed.

.

I wonder how much shipping would be?

Much less than purchase price, if you load it on the way you might make enough to cover shipping (and then some).
