The "DF2" marking is in need of correction for both size and color, and I have contacted Intermountian about this, and Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:24:01 GMT Randy Hubmann http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/RITSlist/message/3925 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/RITSlist/message/3925 Bob, You mentioned the Red Caboose 40' ACF welded side boxcars. I am not sure if these are the ones you are speaking of, but Inermountain has some advertised Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:45:28 GMT Robert Massey http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/RITSlist/message/3924 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/RITSlist/message/3924 Your right Keevan, but I believe that was only for Intermountian to offer "assembled / decorated" models only. Red Caboose was to offer the undec kits and Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:44:35 GMT Kjb80401@... http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/RITSlist/message/3923 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/RITSlist/message/3923 There's a pretty detailed description of the Red Caboose / Intermountain alliance on Red Caboose's home page: Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:33:18 GMT Robert Massey http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/RITSlist/message/3922 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/RITSlist/message/3922 Yeah, I know about that Dave.

Their web site indicates upcoming availability of some products. The last two offerings Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:58:42 GMT D & S Koziol http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/RITSlist/message/3920 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/RITSlist/message/3920 Bob, I don't think that you will have ay luck, Red Caboose has ceased production and their tooling is for sale ass I understand.
