Here is a new supplier of Freight Cars.
http://www.tangentscalemodels.com/
They are a little pricey but are the best thing on the market. I have seen them first hand and they are absolutely AWESOME!
Basic car info
* Dimensional accuracy - scaled from Pullman-Standard plans
* Razor-sharp printing and paint separations
* Exact fonts and lettering placement - compare our replicas to the
prototype photos!
* Thoroughly-researched colors - check out our BN Cascade Green!
* Frame lettering where applicable
* “Lacy” end and underframe details
* Thin-profile brake piping
* Air hoses
* Scale-sized wire grabirons for durability
* See-through etched metal running boards and crossover platforms
* Nicely-detailed outlet gates (available as spare parts, too!)
* Weighted to NMRA specs for smooth operation
* Kadee® scale metal couplers
* Accurate 100-ton N-11 trucks with free-rolling metal wheels
* Models include customized details applicable to each paint scheme - tow
loops, jacking pads, ladders, Apex vs Morton running boards and
crossover platforms, and underframe crossmembers.
* Car number selection process - where possible, we select car numbers
from online or published sources, focusing on late era numbers to
represent more than 35 years in continuous operation.
* Designed, tooled, and produced in USA, with assembly in China.
* Recommended age 8 years and older.
* Model will operate on 18” radius curves
