I JUST INHERITED A BUNCH OF TRAINS FROM MY DAD. I HAVE A GARAGE FULL OF BOXES OF HIS STUFF THAT HIS GIRLFRIEND PACKED THAT I AM SLOWLY GETTING THRU AND EVERY WEEK'S BOX OPENING HAS BECOME AN EVENT - AND FULL OF SURPRISES. I HAD NO IDEA HE HAD TRAINS OR WHEN HE GOT THEM. I WENT TO HIS HOUSE EVERY XMAS EVE WITHOUT FAIL FROM 1985 TIL 2011 AND THERE WAS NEVER A HINT OF ANY TRAINS. MAYBE HE FORGOT HE HAD THEM? WE WERE REALLY CLOSE AND I THOUGHT I KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM...NOW THAT HE'S GONE, I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS.THESE WERE IN A BOX MARKED HALL CLOSET SO THEY HAVE BEEN IN A NON-SMOKING/NO PETS HOUSE FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG.SO GET IT IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS! NOTHING GOES WITH THE HOLIDAYS BETTER THAN BEER TRAIN CARS. THERE'S NOT A KID ON THE PLANET THAT DOESN'T WANT TO SEE A TRAIN CAR THAT REMINDS HIM OF WHAT DADDY DRINKS CHUGGING AROUND THE TREE ON XMAS MORNING! AND THIS ONE'S BECOMING VINTAGE FROM 1973 - IT CAN'T GO DOW MUCH MORE IN VALUE.LET THE PIX TELL YOU THE CONDITION STORY AND IF YOU NEED MORE OR HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK. I'LL MENTION ANYTHING MAJOR THAT I SEE- LIKE THIS REEFER COULD USE A SPRAY WASH AND THE BOX HAS SOME WAVES BUT IS LARGELY FREE OF BENDS OR TEARS. WHEELS AND AXLES HAVE VERY MINOR SURFACE RUST SPECKS ON THEM. DAD WOULD SAY IT'S GOT CHARACTER...AND THEN BELCH DEEPLY AND WOBBLE JUST A LITTLE BIT. I read more
