Request a total for the correct shipping. I can correct it after the fact if necessary. Choice Listing FAQ : - The price is per car. The price is the same for one, or all. - All items purchased together, ship together, the shipping is combined but you must request a total. - Choose each from the dropdown menu, add to cart, request total. - MOBILE APP BUYERS: for reasons unknown eBay will not allow you to request a total. I will still combine shipping, but will have to refund the difference in price. - There are no bids, there are no offers. - Cars are subject to prior sales at train shows, I suggest emailing before purchase attempt in case I've been unable to update the inventory numbers, particularly on a weekend. - These are new pieces, not some old junk someone wants to give away. - They will not get cheaper; if I can't sell them I'll just keep them for myself. Atlas says: The Thrall Car 2743 cubic foot gondola was introduced in 1995. This new 52' 6" interior length design was in response to the newly allowed increase in Gross Rail Loading (GRL) to 286,000 lbs (up from 263,000 lbs). This allowed an increase of the inside height from the previously standard 5'0" to a new standard of 5'6", giving it a 2,743 cubic foot capacity. Thrall produced over 6,700 of these from 1995 to 1999. The design resumed production under Trinityrail in 2005. Features: Prototypical scale height reflecting the new higher capacities standard.
