Need info on RMT rolling stock prices,mainly hoppers

Mike welkieOGR Forum Member

Hi. Was wondering is it possible to pick up RMT cars such as their hopper cars for $15.00 to $20.00 a car or $30.00 to $40.00 a two car set. I missed some on that famous auction site do to a recent hospital stay. I'm mainly interested in the anthracite roads that they produced a while back. I haven't been to York in years and was wondering as far as price, how hard are these to find as well.I'm trying to build a hopper train. I guess Atlas is another option , but these are probably going to be very pricey. Thanks for any input.

Anything's possible, but you have to do the legwork on this one yourself to find out.

If you can't go to shows keep your eyes on ebay for deals.

Thanks. Yes , shows in my area are nonexistent . Prior to my health issues,I was an avid show goer, albeit where I lived there were plenty. I also attended York on a regular basis, and need to rejoin the TCA.Was just trying to get a feel for what these were going for, and will have to keep watching the auction site. I guess you never know what might show up, like the batch I missed.
Thanks guys;

At two recent shows, RMT hoppers were going for $25 each and the dealers were getting that price. Now that you can't get new stock, the price of RMT hoppers has firmed up a bit.

I am pretty certain that there are still some around for less than that. Even at $25 each, I believe they are a good deal.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ed. On that infamous auction site, one seller is selling two car sets for $79.99 . I was just hoping that this wasn't what they are going for across the board. Yes, they are very nice cars and have bought some from two different forum members, at a great price , I might add.I just need to find more and in the pre Conrail athracite roadnames , used or new. That doesn't matter.

I see that you're presently logged into our forum, Mike.

Are you paying me the lousy $6.39 that I paid for shipping these hoppers to you, or .... are you ripping me off?

My emails to you, and to your wife, and my phone call .... all go unanswered.

Just sent you an email. You don't have to be so nasty. I just got out of the hospital after another heart attack. Please don't judge me if you don't know the whole story.

Jim, I've tried to email you but you won't respond. You either want the $ 6.39 or you don't.You need to post a public apology here for all to see and stop trashing me with other forum members.
Having health issues was not my choice

Thanks for the tip Mike. Been looking for the ore cares and the ones on eBay are way over priced.
