Looking to get some Bethgon or other type coal cars and have noted they only seem to have a a couple of runs, meaning 5 or 6 car packs from Athearn or Walthers. Do you just have to wait for them to make new runs to fill out a 20-30 car coal train, can you order them special. Call me lazy, just rather buy them ready to roll rather than build them myself.
 
If you are trying to get all different car numbers, you'll have to wait and hope Athearn or Walthers does another run of numbers. You can also look for LBF Bethgons. They did 48 numbers in each road name, but they are very hard to find now.
 
The only other option, other then waiting, or looking for old cars, is renumbering. If you're not up to it, there are many people who will do it for a small fee.
