FREIGHT EQUIPMENT

Railroad Collectibles maintains an inventory of freight equipment representative of the steam through early diesel era with a limited number of cars from later years.  Custom freight cars are available from time to time, particularly in the form of custom wreck and maintenance equipment. Custom painted cars are available on request, as are renumbering of production cars where only one car number has been produced.  Conversions from 3rail to 2 rail trucks and couplers and vice-versa is an available service.  Custom Cabooses are also included in our inventory.

Cars from a number of manufacturers are available but listings at this time are by railroad and some car types, not manufacturer.  An abbreviation next to each car identification will designate the manufacturer as per the index below.  Freight cars are generally equipped with sprung diecast trucks with metal wheels and axles.  Some cars have plastic side frame trucks with metal wheels and axles. Those with the plastic version can be converted at an additional cost of $12 per car in most cases.

Listed below are freight cars currently available — Many custom and limited production.
