River Point Station Fords Closout Sale

More than you ever wanted to know about the body style

It was the last F-150 with the 4.9L and Mazda Manual transmission.   Although the F-150 would have a manual transmission option until 2008.

I received an email informing me that the "shop" that is liquidating the left over stock of River Point Station's 1992-97 Ford F-250 crew cab pickups and F-350 service trucks will no longer be accepting new orders after December 15, 2023.

Here is the link to the remaining N scale truck models.  https://rps-vehicles.myshopify.com/collections/n-scale-trucks

And here is a link to the remaining accessory. https://rps-vehicles.myshopify.com/collections/n-scale-accessories

At $8.00 for a 2-pack of trucks and $2.00 for 6 pairs of mirrors, these models are definitely bargain priced!  I ordered 10 more sets of trucks and 5 more packets of mirrors a few weeks ago.  Of course, after the RPS Fords are gone you will still be able to purchase the Atlas models, but not at this price.  This is also a great opportunity to acquire some trucks for kit bashing regular cab pickups and crew cab service trucks.

Looks like the mirrors are sold out.

They include mirrors with the vehicles, might not be the big ones...Got 2 sets of Santa Fe F-350 Utility and PU last month. For 8 bucks a set....Insane...

Chuck,

Yes, the RPS F-350 service trucks come with a set of "West Coast" mirrors.  However, I have purchased several extra sets of the RPS mirrors because they are perfect not only for the RPS Fords, but also for most medium duty N scale trucks in which the prototype had a pickup based cab, such as the Showcase Miniatures Kodiak grain truck shown below.



And yes, the updated Showcase Kodiak kit comes with a set of mirrors, but I have a bunch of the "original" Kodiak models that did not come with mirrors.  The mirrors can also be used for the C in C 1973-89 C60/C65 Chevy trucks that never came with mirrors, and I have even more of the C in C trucks that are in need of mirrors!

Thanks for the link to the closeout.  I bought 3 packets (6 vehicles) and was wondering if anyone had saved the instructions for the mirror install - the RPS website which had the instructions for the mirrors is no longer functioning.

Not a big deal, but I can see myself twisting the mirror fret the wrong way...

Jon,

Yes, I converted the pdf file to a jpeg.

Fantastic!  Thanks for your help.

I ordered some so I can make more regular cab pickups like the ones shown below.

Your idea of making regular cab trucks out of these just sold another $100 worth.   Someone else posted this sale at one point and I bought some BN's and one or two randoms, but never thought about cutting them down.  Great idea.

Also, the modules I'm planning will likely include a Ford dealership. so I'll need a nice collection.

EDIT: And now I noticed....they're completely sold out now!

RPS should give us props, all gone....
