Received a Intermountain railway company  reefer today that I bought off the "Bay".  This was as nice a car as I have seen, great detail.  Did some searching and their web site only shows HO N and some Z products.  Is anyone aware if they are making O scale now or do you have a source that may have some O scale in stock? I will call them next week but thought I'd check  with the best source available."Forum members"

Atlas is better but from a few feet away who can tell. They look great on a long train. Don


Well Once one sees the fragile detailed parts breaking off, one would easily tell. Since I have built many a Boxcar, Gondola and 2 bay hpper car, these kits when assembled are NOT condusive to transportation to a club or another house. I can't tell you how many grab rails, thin brake lines, railings, etc I have broen off. IF one gets brass details for replacement, then the overall price can exceede the price of the Atlas O car.

Intermountain and Red Caboose both made highly detailed "O" scale kits. I built the Intermountain single door and double door boxcars,reefer cars, hopper cars and tank cars also the Red Caboose flatcars and tankcars. The Intermountain hopper car kits and Red Caboose tank car kits required the most time to built, put Weaver 3-Rail  trucks with brass journal boxes on all cars. Check e-bay for kits or general search on internet, I am guessing that both companies pulled out of the "O" scale market due to lack of sales because many people are not into kit building.
