Rocky Mountaineer posted:When Pat (from Pat's Trains) posted about the O-Line Reproductions stuff a week or two ago, I left him an email indicating I'd be interested in 8 of the Cancer Awareness boxcars at $22/each. Thought they'd make a PERFECT unit-train to go along with the MTH Railking Cancer Awareness ES44 and caboose which should be arriving any day now according to MTH's shipping through 11/30 notice.
Pat responded to my email that he'd put be down for the 8 cars, and sure enough... they arrived today. Didn't need to do a thing... now THAT's customer service! Thanks Pat!!!
Here are a few quick-and-dirty iPhone snapshots... nothing fancy...
First, a very familiar-looking box design... deja vu?
vs. this design from days gone by!
And a few more sides of the OLR product box...
Rear of the box, lower right-hand corner... the US-based company who is acting as the distributor for O-Line Reproductions...
Now here's a warning label I don't recall seeing on any other toy train product boxes from other importers -- not even RMT.
Hhhhmmmmm.....
And now the product itself: the boxcar outside of wrappings... very nice detail... even more rivets than Lionel's MPC-era boxcars...
And for those curious about the size of these O-Line Reproduction products, they're a perfect match-up for traditional Lionel 6464-class boxcars as seen below:
Very pleased with the quality and detail of the cars here -- especially for the price. You just can't go wrong... EXCELLENT price/performance, and it really does make us wonder WHY we're paying what we do for much of the overpriced stuff out there today.
