Both would be good road names for FVM to keep in mind for future releases of the former PM/RC Greenville 3000 cuft covered hopper.

Very true... I hear complaints that they go for $20+ on the bay.. so anytime I see them at a reasonable price....

I made similar comment on FVM FB page regarding the MMID scheme.

I have sent a message regarding availability of said cars to their Facebook page.  If anyone is interested, I'm willing to do a group purchase and we can split up the lot if still available.

The place has been in business for 30-40 years...

Maybe.. pick up the phone...

7162829753

 :D

 As I recall.. they were $9-10 a car.. and they had a couple MM cars and maybe 4-5 WW cars

They also had other PM 3 bay hoppers PTLX, BN, ATSF, UP, SP, and  maybe CNW.. Maybe 1 or 2 of each 3 packs.

$20+ would be fine....assuming the seller is making the same upgrades as FVM, e.g. including the Trainworx coupler parts and painting them to match, removing the roofwalk that was molded in place (and without butchering the $#!+ out of the roof) and replacing it with an etched metal roofwalk, adding hopper gates to the older releases that didn't have them, etc.
