Hi, I'm collecting some rolling stock to give my son. Been having some good luck finding new cars on ebay. Been trying to keep my budget down to $4 or less for a car. Unfortunately the boxes Ive been getting are really beat up, torn, smelly, moldy or just crushed. Does anyone have any nice boxes or even just the inserts that they'd be willing to sell? Dont really care what they say on the ends. I can print out some stickers to match the cars I have. Thanks, Rick.

@%@ I just threw out about 200 of them, thinking that they were a fire hazard and never be of use to anyone!

| How many do you need and what sizes? I've got a few short boxes and at least a few long ones. I won't be home for a couple of days but I'll look when I get back.

| I don't have enough posts yet to send you a p.m. But I will get you a definite box count and shipping charge ASAP. As far as the inserts go, if you need to make up a few just use poster board. I've done it many times and all you have to do is lightly score to be able to bend the end and side tabs and cut out the shape of the freight car to fit and it works just fine
