N-scale cars for sale.

Hello:

I have some surplus, N-scale, freight and passenger, cars I would like to sell. All these cars work fine; they just don’t fit the era I have decided on. The models are mainly from Bachman, or Atlas. A few have Micro-Trains trucks with couplers installed. These cars are not Mico-Trains brand cars however. Most have the original Rapido trucks, fitted with Rapido couplers. Since the couplers are truck- mounted, it would be simple to switch to Micro-Trains trucks equipped with Micro-Trains couplers, if desired. Cars with Rapido trucks/couplers are $2.oo ea. plus shipping.* Cars with Micro-Trains trucks and couplers are $3.oo ea. plus shipping.*

The Rapido trucks have metal wheels with medium depth flanges. The Micro- trains trucks have that company’s plastic wheels with their “low profile” shallow flanges. All these wheels will work well on most N-scale track. Metal replacement wheelsets are sold by Fox Valley Models, Intermountain, and Micro- Trains. Buying, and installing any of these metal wheels is up to you.

For passenger cars, I have three ConCor, Santa Fe, fluted stainless steel cars. They have Micro-Trains trucks and couplers. These three cars are priced at $3.00 ea. plus shipping.*

The other offering is a six-car set of Norfolk & Western classic, steam era, “heavyweight” cars. These models were made by Rivarossi, and imported by ConCor. The cars have Rapido trucks and couplers. These are being sold only as a set. I don’t want to break up this beautiful train to sell the cars individually. The full set of six is $30.oo plus shipping.*

These C&NW stock cars and others in this group have “weathering” effects applied. The “rust” and “dirt” on these cars is paint, not actual rust, or dirt!

For this reason they can derail or flop over easily. This unlettered hopper comes with extra weight added below, using “Low temp” bismuth weight material. Weight mounted low in the car like this helps stability.
