    That's because those are not RPS models...

    As Allen explained the trucks aren't RPS. They are a conglomeration of tractors and trailers and boxes I have scraped together from numerous sources. They came out really nice. They just lacked mirrors. That will now be fixed...shortly. :D:D:cool:

    I originally had 3 different 'bundles' in my 'cart'. I talked myself back from the ledge ! I only got the one... https://rps-vehicles.myshopify.com/collections/n-scale-trucks/products/bundle-n1 Because I really wanted the 2 orange DPW vehicles for a scene I have planned on the layout. ;)

    But you still got 4 vehicles and mirror's and Free shipping for $22.50 :) What a deal! This is a once in a lifetime Sale for sure, me thinks! I have so many of these vehicles, but I want some more cause it's a great deal. Model railroader math, do you need it, Nope! Does it makes sense to purchase more, Nope. But are you going to spend more money anyway... probably...Yep :) Enjoy them! BTW, I have this website book marked, not good, and every time I check, I'm like surely the site is down and they are sold out, Nope! Been doing this for over 6 month's now. If I check in the future and they have 4 sets in a Bundle and mirror's for $22.50, I am screwed :) Just saying!

    Bought these month's ago at the Dollar Tree or the Dollar Twenty-Five Tree now. Wonder if they will change their name :) I can use them for something to put N Scale stuff in, something?

    Well excuse me for living. Are you that mod from Nscale.net? I see your snarkiness knows no bounds.

    I was not being snarky ! Sorry you misunderstood and got 'triggered'. Lighten up ! TB is NOT one of those other train sites. We are all way to laid back for that. Have a good day ! :whistle:

    What happened? Did you buy it used on FeePay?

    How many U.S. roads used or use those things? They are not unusual overseas but I have seen only one photograph of one in the U.S. of A.; on the CRI&P.

    Those things fetch high prices on FeePay. A few years back, I put up three of them on FeePay. Of the two that ran, one fetched two hundred fifty; one just over three hundred. The one that did not run fetched one hundred seventy five. Several people took me to task on the last one. I listed it for twenty five dollars. I can not help it if it gets bid up that high. To be sure, I was positively and insufferably delighted that it fetched that kind of a price but I opened the bid at something reasonable.

    I have 4 Atlas Shays.
    Very nice models but very fragile... handle with care.
    Two of my Shays were custom decorated for DRGW by a hobby vendor that does not advertise here.

    Regarding the Transfer Table... Walthers makes both N scale and HO scale buildings intended to be used with a Transfer Table. I don't know if there are any such device used in the USA. Nonetheless, I think it would be an interesting conversation piece.

    With regards to auto and truck etched stainless steel mirrors. These are obtainable from the company that purchased Lineside Models (nee Road Apples). The company does not advertise with us, but, the proprietor is Richard Plantz. Do a web search... you might be impressed with his N scale offerings .

    Thanks CZ for the advice on the Shay. Thankfully no cats or little g'kids here regularly, so I will guard it!
