Title: Gorre and Daphetid
Post by: SteamGene on February 05, 2007, 06:35:27 PM
Curently there are two G D Line 40' wood boxcar kits for sale on the NMRA site.  You do not have to be an NMRA member to purchase them and proceeds benefit a railroad museum.  All oxther information you might need is on the site. 
It's an Accurail model and makes up nice.

Thanks. I might buy one. How much do they cost?

You could always look on the site. Nobody would think of that. ::)

Who'd a thunk it, Hoople.

They're $15 + $3 shipping and handling.

Like I said, I'm feeling really stupid :-[

I think I'll buy a couple to match the old Roundhouse ones I have, thanks for the info.

They may look nicer than the Roundhouse.  I don't know.  OTOH, I picked up a G&D caboose off e-Bay.
I mean, why not?  Surely a western mountain railroad caboose could somehow drift east to a sub-division in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Right?

Right, Gene.

I  might get the G&D boxcars.

BTW, NMRA seems very nice with shipping charges.  Along with my G&D wood 40' boxcar came a Bent Spaghetti Lines 50' two door box car.  They were essentially two different sales, but Igot them in one box for the S&H for the G&D car.

That BSL car should go well with the G&D cars.  Jerry ("Chef Gerardo") Drake was a very good friend of John Allen's, and there were BSL cars on the G&D.   gj

They are going into my "unreal railroads" train.  I think the G&D drover caboose will  be in the mddle, deadheading someplace.  ;D
