I picked up two of those at a local hobby shop when i built my first layout years ago because they appeared to be inexpensive rolling stock and I liked the colors. The boxes were dusty so I didn't realize they were weathered until I ran them on my layout. A little while later Ed Boyle did an article about these collectible cars and thus began my only collectible quest. Finally obtained them all at reasonable prices thanks to e-bay and Grzyboski Trains. Even the much sought after Budweiser Reefer which was usually priced much higher than I was willing to pay. Now I actually have two of them.
