Branchline Trains? Accurail?

[diburning]

I recently bought two Branchline trains ACF Centerflow hopper kits. The kits actually say Accurail on them and they are most likely very recent productions as the printing is very crisp, and the cars are striped.

Is Branchline Trains a distributor that repacks other manufacturer's cars as their own?

The instruction sheet/parts diagram is an Accurail instruction sheet, with a Branchline Trains logo and letterhead.

I just opened another box and the box says Branchline Trains and the model on the side, but on the inside, it was the same model, but an Athearn bluebox kit.

Wow I don't know? I know brachline trains sell a lot of detail parts for passenger cars. Have you taken a look @ the walthers' reference book and see if the parts added up? That is wierd!!!

Branchline got its start painting custom models using other manufacturers' products and did a pretty good job of it.

I was not aware that Branchline made any freight cars other than reefers and boxcars.

I do know that Branchline used (in the Berwick car I just built) Accurail roller bearing trucks.
