Pullman
Standard 86’ Auto Parts Box Cars
Bluford Shops
is proud to announce N scale Pullman Standard 86’
Auto Parts Box Cars in both Double and Quad Door versions.
These cars have injection molded plastic bodies, etched
metal details, operating knuckle couplers, accurately appearing
trucks and cushion draft gear enclosures.
These cars first
appeared in the mid-60s and are still in use today. Unlike
general service freight cars, auto parts boxes are assigned
to pools based on a mileage formula and often spend most
of their time off home rails. In other words, “foreign
road” cars usually out-number home road cars in a
given parts train to the point that if you missed the locomotives
passing, you would have a hard time telling whose train
it was! That makes for colorful and interesting trains that
are fun to model.

In the aftermath of the failed
application to merge with Southern Pacific, Santa Fe launched their “Quality
Service Network” with the goal of attracting premium rates for moving selected
priority traffic. They adopted a new variation of the Santa Fe logo with a
stylized “Q” surrounding the traditional circle and cross logo. This was applied
to the mineral red (nearly burgandy) paint job that replaced the Indian red used
for many years. This roadname will be available in 3 road numbers: 86361 single
car; 86362 2-Pack . |

For most of its history, the Ann Arbor ran 300 miles from Toledo through Ann Arbor to the coast of Lake Michigan at Frankfurt where through traffic was loaded on car ferries for rail connections across the lake in Wisconsin and Michigan’s upper peninsula. After extended periods of control by Wabash and then Detroit Toledo & Ironton, Ann Arbor adopted this image
featuring the “ferry in the fog” logo. This group of Greenville-built cars was
leased from Brae in 1978. This roadname will be available in 3 road numbers:
86371 single car; 86372 2-Pack. |

Item Description
|
| |
Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
