No, of course not. Just IM trucks.

We see the same thing when someone says something is from Kemtron when the only thing on the model is a plastic drawbar with the name on it.

Just IM trucks.

And even those are broken.....

No, of course not. Just IM trucks.

The trucks are the only part of that car that are made out of brass, right?

The first thing you want to do is look at the seller's feedback.

IM makes metal(brass) trucks?

[herronpeter]

What little I know about this is I thought Red Caboose made the only plastic flat car besides Lionel and Atlas. I’ve never seen an intermountain O scale flat car or for that matter brass intermountain trucks only the excellent intermountain wheel sets!! I’m kinda a rookie compared to you guys which is why I posted this……

Look like plastic to me.

Doh! I said trucks, but I meant to say brass bearings in the truck sideframes.

Car is cast, probably aluminium. Someone laminated scribed stock on the deck. Trucks are white metal, perhaps Ace. Looks like Intermountain trucks in kit form included.

That all would seem accurate!

I THINK that's a GM or A-N cast flat. SC has separate sides, this one does not. Opinion is, no way for that much. However, scribed deck is nice. How many flat cars does one need, anyway?
Add in shipping, handing, tax if applied, and, uh, no.
Original coupler box seems to be milled out or off. Stirrup steps used to be there...not any more. No grabirons. Stake pockets not drilled out before rattle can red oxide primer application, nor was the scribed decking relieved at stake pockets.
I do like the two piece truck sideframe. Gotta make this a really rare factory error, right?

It is up to $36.00 with four hours to go; two people seem to think that is a worthwhile purchase.

EDIT: It sold for the $36.00.
