Ridge Road Accucraft sale

Finally. On the 1:20.3 plastic cars only, looks like. And the 1/29 plastic stuff.
Click the “sort by” and chose “stock status” option.

Found an “In-store” option - where the heck is the “In-stock” one?

Nice catch. Nice prices! $50 for a boxcar, tankcar, or reefer is not too shabby.

When you are looking at the items, at the top of the page change the option for "Sort By:" to Stock Status .

$40 for some of those 1:29 PS-1 cars is a very tempting price but I really don’t need anymore boxcars :wink:

Thanks

can anyone tell me why I am up-sizing HLW Flats to Fn3 ($16+ parts and labor) when I could have gotten them for $29 from RRS…always one step behind!

Cause it’s more phun to build than buy.

Very true, it is a blast to build your own stuff. However I did succumb and bought both a boxcar and a reefer.

Heck I’ve seen the reefer trucks go for $45 just by themselves, and that’s what I paid for the reefer.

Those are the kind of bargains I had always hoped to see at ECLSTS, but never did.

John, thanks for the Reminder..U too Bruce!

Currently my Kidz and Biz are running me ragged (more biz than kids)…so instant gratification with a purchase would please the outer man…but I know someday I’ll get around to finishing all that I have started and the reward will far out shine the investment (kids more than biz)…!

When the passenger cars go on sale, let me know (then remind me that I still haven’t finished the interior on the one I bought last year :wink: ). Those are great prices, though.

Later,

If you see the Accucraft Porter on there for $150, let me know, I’ll risk the divorce :open_mouth:

Which one? the Porter or my divorce if I buy it? :lol:

I got my two cars today. That’s pretty quick shipping, but the real surprise was that shipping and handling was only $11.62. Hard to beat that price.

Ridge Road has always shipped my orders within 24 hours. I made the mistake of ordering from another dealer this weekend. Ridge Road didn't carry what I was looking for. I got an e-mail today........my order will ship in 6-8 weeks :mad: From here on, if Ridge Road doesn't have it.......I don't need it. Ralph

I was going to scratch build a couple more boxcars, but then I saw that Accucraft couplers were going for $9 these days. The Aristo-Delton trucks that I use are $17 a pair. Man, that’s already up to $26! I usually replace the wheels with Sierra Valley 24", and I hate to think what they’re up to these days.

So, instead I ordered some AMS flatcars for $30 each. I figure that these will make great bases for my boxcars and all of the underbody detail (that I usually don’t do) is already done, and is probably more square than any of my efforts.

OK, so I’m not building from scratch…I guess I’ll just bash these. :wink:

Now thats a neat tweak. Get the couplers, trucks, wheels, underbody, and an already-sized frame. Hmm…

Hard to beat, isn’t it? :wink:

OK good idea! - Don’t buy them all… I need some of my eBay stuff to sell so I can order a couple :smiley: :smiley:
