For anyone who wants to add more N scale River Point Station Ford service trucks and crew cab pickups to their fleets, one of the RPS distributors is offering them with very deep discounts! I want to be cautious and not violate any Trainboard policies, so a link to the sale can be found in this post in the N Scale Vehicle Association's Group.io. https://groups.io/g/NScaleVehicleAs...,0,0::recentpostdate/sticky,,,20,2,0,79005410 The crew cab pickup kits are at a particularly good price. I ordered some so I can make more regular cab pickups like the ones shown below. And, at the time of this posting, all of the paint schemes RPS offered were in stock. Carter
Thanks for the heads up Carter. According to their website, they are leaving the N Scale market and this is a liquidation sale. They are also cutting back on their HO offerings.
I received an email informing me that the "shop" that is liquidating the left over stock of River Point Station's 1992-97 Ford F-250 crew cab pickups and F-350 service trucks will no longer be accepting new orders after December 15, 2023. Here is the link to the remaining N scale truck models. https://rps-vehicles.myshopify.com/collections/n-scale-trucks And here is a link to the remaining accessory. https://rps-vehicles.myshopify.com/collections/n-scale-accessories At $8.00 for a 2-pack of trucks and $2.00 for 6 pairs of mirrors, these models are definitely bargain priced! I ordered 10 more sets of trucks and 5 more packets of mirrors a few weeks ago. Of course, after the RPS Fords are gone you will still be able to purchase the Atlas models, but not at this price. This is also a great opportunity to acquire some trucks for kit bashing regular cab pickups and crew cab service trucks. Carter
First of all odd I did not get an email as I have ordered them at least 4-5 times? And second, just cause I am addicted to them will have to order at least a few more in the near future I just can't help myself. I love these vehicles for the prices and they just keep getting lower and lower Am I a RPS hoarder? Good thing they are small!
At $4.00 per truck and FREE shipping, it's an amazing deal for sure! Only one I missed was the solid White one that I wanted. But I really like what I have.
Just ordered 1 pack with 2 trucks. Shipping was $5 (which was great...who ships anything for $5 anymore?) but I didn't see a free shipping option. Maybe it kicks in when you buy over a certain amount?
Well I did the other 4 or 5 times I ordered, but apparently not anymore. Still worth it though if you order enough. Or just one really. That's cheap for shipping. And it's $5.00 no matter how much you get from what I can see. Plus once they send me the wrong vehicle, told me to keep it and sent me the correct one no additional charge
I don't have 50, only 49 Really not sure how many, but not that many, yet. I still have ones in the package, along with the ones I am using. And everyone got FREE shipping till they lowered the price to $8.00 or maybe even a price before that one. However still thinking about it, but might, and I mean might, place a large order for the last one, maybe? Or just buy like 5 packs of 2 each. Or just see how many I can get for $100.00 If you have N Scale train friends would be a great stocking stuffer, just saying! The holidays are closer then you think. Will definitely need a Ford truck dealership in the future, that's for sure. If I have room. Oh, maybe a diorama? Can't go to this gas station unless you drive a Ford truck Now where did I put the other ones in the packages I also Only buy the generic ones as they have never had a CSX truck! Solid colors, Sherriff, Police, DPW, etc... @cfritschle Ordered 10 packs, and some mirrors. I am not the only one that likes these. Who will win, them or in2tech, as the RPS hoarder of the year Tune in for results
Awwww man, I'm not even in the running for RPS hoarder of the year at this point. I ordered 3 more sets but missed out on the mirrors as they are marked sold out now. This will double my fleet and I still won't have as many as are at that gas station These are really nice trucks and even though RPS is done with them, still think they deserve a big thank you for bringing them to market. They were/are a great addition to N scale.
Just looked and I have 6 more band new packages, found them, with 2 in each package. But I still want more before they are gone at these prices. Maybe they will go down to $2.00 per package before all is said and done. Just keep buying so you can catch up with us Of course IF I do make the $100.00 order in the future, that will be hard to catchup, just saying
That is like ordering a 100 pack of all Toyota cars !! Wherever you look on your layout...there is a Toyota !! The guy who drives through town in a Ford is run out of town on a rail !!!!!!!!!
Same thing with the 50 China made cars I bought. They all look the same just different colors. It all blends in at some point, kind of And I am cheap and not spending $20.00 or more on a single vehicle except the occasional item like the WS Ice Cream truck! On my layout it either a Ford truck or cars made from China for like $20.00 for a pack of 50 Some other make comes rolling into this town, they are getting the boot, not really, but sounds good
Well, it was a good sale for them then. Glad I was able to get a couple more sets at that sale price before they were gone.
Me too! It was a good, old school, REAL sale where you get something for crazy cheap, including shippingl! And it wasn't simply cheap as compared to high regular price. This sale price would have looked great if these existed in 1990! These days, it seems like 5% off is considered a big sale for MRR stuff.
