#4

Ok Thanks… I will get back with you…Would you be willing to ship to 43333 ?

#5

I can ship or hold if you have any trips planned that take you thru Indiana.

#6

Mike, I am going to pass on this car for now… Thank You for posting the pictures of the car. If you still have it down the road I may get it then…

#7

Mike, being from USA Trains, that reefer would be 1/29? How much smaller is it compared to the LGB grain hopper at 1/22.5? Can I see a pic of the 2 side by side?

#8

LGB’s grain hoppers are closer to 1:29 but not nearly as big as the AML hoppers(wife has the Chessie version) I would take a pic, but I took most everything to the local G scale shop to get it sold quicker as I have a live steam engine I want to purchase as soon as possible. Thanks Mike

#9

Well, if they don’t sell the John Deere reefer, I’ll take it, PM me your address so I can send you a check, and figure/find out what shipping is to 60107, I’ll pay that too. A couple months ago, I sent a 1/6 G.I. Joe Jeep trailer out to a friend of mine in Hemet California, cost me $38 to go across the country, by UPS, weight was around 10 lbs. You and I about 150 miles, straight line distance, apart, shouldn’t be that much to ship.

#10

Its all at Zionsville Train Depot now. You will have to give him a call, he does ship as well. Trying to deal with packing up all those items seperatly was just gonna be to much hassle. If you want the car, give him a call and he will hook you up with it. Mike

USA reefers are 1:24th scale.

The light blue car with the 20 on it is an USA reefer, The dark blue car is an Aristocraft steel boxcar.

Dave, you might want to edit 1:42 to 1:24 (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Is that by chance a USA Trains reefer from the March 2014 20th Anniversary East Coast Large Scale Train Show in York PA? If so, I see color variations in white, yellow, and green but not blue in the USAT database. Maybe you have one of the few blue ones, David. Nice train, BTW!

#19

A little clarification. The USAT catalog says the woodside reefers are 1:24, but the steel side ones (both 40- and 50-foot) are 1:29.

Michael, the 20th anniversary show cars from York were first done it 4 colors to see how they looked. Blue was decided on and the other three colors were dropped. All 4 looked so good to me, I was planning to buy one of each and was a little disappointed that only blue was available at the show.

#20

Bill, be careful. There are 1:24 steel cars from USA also.

Yes Michael, that’s the 20th anniversary ECLSTS car. That’s my commemorative train. There is the MDC anniversary caboose, an LSOL tank car, 2 ECLSTS cars and the Garden Railways boxcar.
