I recently bought a low sided gondola body from AnaKramer put trucks on it but then realised that it really did need that underbody frame. So I found it from Ana Kramer like Alec directed you to. I wonder if Ana splits up these cars to sell just the bits to make each more valuable? Kinda like how a Camry is the most often stolen car, the parts are worth more than the whole.

[b]BINGO[/b] They're not doing it for their health ;) Take the Bachmann Jackson Sharp kits. They can sell the trucks for about what they can get for the entire kit. They also buy up a lot of the starter sets and break them up too. Ralph

Thanks for the info, guys! Big help!
Todd, I too bought 3 car bodies from Ana, and found they needed the under frames.
But Ana doesn’t have the under frames listed in the USA eBay, so THANKS for the info, Alec!

I’m finding that Bachmann has discontinued these 20 ft. cars, and they are getting harder to find.

Thanks again, guys. I ordered the 3 under frames to go with the 3 car bodies.
When I called Bachmann USA PARTS, the only things they have for separate parts
for the 20 ft. cars are the trucks ($13 EACH) and the brake wheel staff and wheel for the boxcar - that’s it.
When I asked the guy why?, he said they were discontinuing the 20 ft. car line to concentrate
on their Spectrum line.
