Listing is for a used, out-of-production, HO scale stock car by Athearn.
With its brown body and only the "11-37" built date (no "SM" annotation) on the side sills, the
"Standard Guide to Athearn Model Trains"
lists this car's availability as "OP3: Out of production; rare- not likely to be found" (but that was when the guide was published in 1998, so it is probably even harder to find now especially since Athearn has discontinued making its "blue box" kits).
Doors on both sides open and close. Steel underframe weight has been painted flat black.
Listed as used because it has already been built but it is in good shape (no missing/broken corner stirrup steps).
Shown with a “Good till cancelled” period; however, listing will end on September 30, 2021.
Item described as well as possible, but is sold "as is" so please contact me if you have any ques
tions.
This is one of numerous HO scale items I am selling. I will combine multiple items to reduce shipping whenever possible. If you win/purchase this item and others I am selling, please request an invoice to receive a combined shipping discount. To request an invoice, either
select “Request total” from the “More actions” drop-down menu on the Purchase history page, or
access your eBay cart and then request an invoice (should be shown above items).
I will reply with an invoice reflecting the combined shipping charge.
Unless other arrangements are made, payment is to be made within two days after purchase, auction ends or invoice is sent.
Check out my other listings for more out-of-production or hard-to-find kits, especially Athearn "blue-box "kits. Athearn discontinued manufacturing them in 2009, so they are becoming scarce and hard to find. With Athearn’s purchase of Model Die Casting, Inc., the MDC/Roundhouse kits have also been discontinued and are no longer available.
