Yep, they're $300 bux... but when you gotta have the right box car you just gotta have the right box car!

Really significant car for the anti "The Atlas or Athearn box cars are just fine for me" crowd. 
Lots and lots of roads had these:

AND...you have to paint them and decal them 
I need some ACL cars, but not at that price 
They sure look s-w-e-e-t though 
Pretty, but too modern, 
Yeah. They look just like the real thing. Count me in the Athearn/All Nation crowd, but I can appreciate the beauty of these. Are we sure we are not looking at real box car photos?
Ouch...that hurts...nice but ouch.
Hard to think someone would come to market with a car that sells for 300+ and as mentioned unpainted.The last brass cars I bought were PRB for about that much $ a decade ago. They were painted and I limited myself to 2 or 3 a year. Then came Atlas and I was fininshed with brass cars.
I could see someone wanting a double door car from that era and maybe buy one. just one but I think the market is moving to more modern era trains.
