Best N Scale Freight
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, February 12, 2006 7:53 PM
Hi,

What manufacturer(s) have the best prices for sets of assorted freight (crates, barrels, etc. that aren't oversized) in N Scale for getting both relatively fine detail and decent quantities. Some of the plastic freight pieces that have come with building kits have been pretty large and crude. I'd like to have a bunch of decent pieces on hand for detailing scenes.

Cheers,
Maureen

California Freight and Detaio Company probably has the widest selection:

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

Eek, that's in the extremely pricey per piece range. Do any of the sets by Kibri or Preiser or anybody offer a better combined value of quality and quantity?
