Northern Michigan Railroad Club, Manistee & Northeastern car available for order

Very cool. Might have to order a 3 car set!

Charlie,
Thanks for the info.

This is a good one...I will be sending my order in. I've enjoyed their last two offerings.

I am in for only one. Very unique, but I already have too many box cars. If Weaver ever does some more of the 60' passenger, RPO, and Baggage Cars maybe we could get some Ann Arbor cars. The big 4 would never do them.

Thanks for posting the link Charlie.
FYI, we posted the wrong prototype photo, that one is of an older style car. Hopefully we'll find the right pic.
The lettering style didn't change much tho.

How limited are they?

On the Northern Michigan Railroad Club site, it states it will be a Crown Weaver car with only 100 units made. Just mailed a check this morning for a single car...with tax and s&h $76.84....a bit much...but it is club and it is a Michigan roadname and it is made in the U.S. Their Copper Range cars came out really nice...so I went for it.

Still a few left.  Get them while you can.

All I get when I log into the site is train web and a whole bunch of advertisements.

I'll take one.  How do I order? The link does not work.

 

Doug

Don't know what happened to their website but google finds many of their pages on trainweb.org.

This is the link to the order form http://trainweb.org/nmrrc/mneorderform.pdf

 

It's a great looking car to have.

You can also email Brian at this email address to place an order.

Thanks Charlie.  I don't know what happened to our website.  I asked Brian to investigate it.

 

John

Yep, I'm trying to figure out how to bring back our website with not much luck.  I am using a new internet provider and I think they may somehow be blocking my site uploads.

So, please use the link above or email me at the email address above.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience!

 

Brian

Website is back up.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I will order one when I get home next week. Do you have any of the previous years cars left?

 

Doug

Sorry Doug, no we don't.  We end up selling out of every car that we offer.  A 100 car order doesn't go too far.  Anyway, thanks for getting one of these.  I'm sure you'll like it! 

 

BTW, we are now working on next Fall's car.

I just got in my Detroit and Mackinac "turtle" cars.  Nice, and thanks!  Wish I had known about some of those earlier ones this club produced, as cited above.  I do like the lesser known short lines.  Several different RR's operated in not that large a geographical area.

 We still have 2 or 3 of the Manistee & Northeastern cars left.  Apparently the line was a bit too obscure.   Glad you liked our D&M cars.  Buffalo Creek Graphics does a really nice job on the graphics.  Even though they are actually done by Weaver, BCG requires a higher standard than Weaver does on their own cars.
