New tank cars out shortly but, on my goodness  $79.99 each?  I am not buying any.

Look again, these come in pairs, no singles.

Some are different cars, some are the same.

This is a business model to double the return from each employee transaction. Instead of each sale being $40 it is near $80. The customer may get a break on shipping. I end up paying for 4 tank cars to get the 2 I really want. I may take a pass on these cars if I can't split the pairs amongst friends.

Sorry, I assumed the OP did the research... But you do have to buy more. But that is a great idea to offer variety in pairs.

What time frame were these tank cars in operation.  They look a little to early for my modeling interests.

Yep I did not see it is two cars.  But, the two cars have the same car number and no one needs that.  Check out the ethel cars.

BLI just used the same photo twice in their ad.  If you read the description it clearly shows two different car numbers in each set and gives the numbers.

Don't confuse 'em with the actual facts!

The Hooker car I have from an earlier run has a New Jersey location lettered on the car. This run has Tacoma on it which is what I need for Milwaukee Road set outs at Schilling, MT for the Hoerner Waldorf liner board mill.
