These brass models have been painted, decaled and weathered by the folks at Time Machine Hobbies/New England Hobby Supply/The Train Exchange (I've been going there for over 50 years). They have been operated on the superb model railroad layout at the store. I bought them 10-15 years ago when they were downsizing the fleet and have not run them since. They reportedly ran fine at the store layout.? All the trucks had been replaced with free-rolling trucks (unknown manufacturer) and three of the Flexi-Flo hoppers have the original brass trucks with them. At the store, they always had the brass models and all locomotives (plastic and metal) in display cases so they were out of their original boxes.? Unfortunately, they didn't always come with their original boxes when they were sold, and that is the case here with some of the models.? The models are:
NYC/PC Flexi-Flow Pd Covered Hopper (NYC Class 951H, OMI #3279):
NYC #885821 (OMI #3280 box) with brass trucks included
NYC #885823 Correct box with brass trucks included
NYC #885827 No original box, packaged in a Varney box, no brass trucks.? The number is incorrect (highest 951H number was #885824, but Overland Decals (OMI #10080 number jungle) are provided to correct the number.

NYC/PC Flexi-Flow Pd Covered Hopper (NYC Class 963H, OMI #32??):
NYC #885877 (OMI #3280 box) with brass trucks included
?
Center Flat Car (OMI ??) The box has a piece of tape with OMI-3080 on it but I don't know if this is correct.? The car comes with a transformer load, although another piece of tape is over these words on the box.
Erie #7210 no brass trucks
?
CN 'Slab Side' Covered Hopper, 12 Hatches (OMI ??)
CN 105027 (OMI 3184 box), no brass trucks
?
I am asking $125 for each of the six models, with free shipping.? I can accept PayPal or personal checks.
Thanks for looking.
