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.

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. |
