Well, let's see what you have there.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.

This shorty flatcar.
Four hoppers like this one.
And two flatcars like this one.

To all:
Actually, I'm not particularly happy about what I've just witnessed here. In the past 5 hours, some of you have managed to turn a legitimate inquiry started my Thommo, completely hijacked the thread, and turned it into some sort of haggler's meet. IMHO, these last 3+ pages should have been primarily handled via PM between the interested parties.
If I had stumbled across all this earlier, I would have locked it because it had detracted from the OPs initial post. The only reason I opened up this thread again was to find out how it could go from 18 posts to 72 posts in such a short period of time.
I am not against finding good homes for unused or underutilized locomotives, rolling stock, or equipment. What I am against is monopolizing someone else's thread for things that should be handled in private - even if no money is being exchanged.
In the future, please keep this sort of activity to PMs or e-mails; NOT on someone's ELSE'S thread. Thank you for your consideration.
In the meantime...The balcony is closed!
