Guest GUILTY COUNTY Posted April 22, 2003 DONT HIT THEM.. a while back the same happened for me..except at a NS mini yard..tons and tons of NS and southern box cars..i painted about 4 or 5..this was two years ago and they are still sitting there...its great for a flix but bad for the spot and it wont roll anytime soon..i did the same with the tracking and it came up unavailable...the best advice for you is to stay away for a while to see if they get changed out..some of the box cars need new doors, wheels, shocks, etc. chances are that if you paint them they may get buffed while the repair takes place..

Guest cheesecurd Posted April 23, 2003 I got a part time spot where they lay up a line of stuff waiting for the break shoes or something to get changed. they roll out in 4 months. I say paint em if they're not all clean, and try as always not to blow up the spot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taper 0 Posted April 23, 2003 im only gonna paint the old ones. i want if there is a chance for them to roll good shit on there. but maybe they'll be the first to get the buff? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abstract Rationality 59 Posted April 24, 2003 do'em... kill'em homie...It could be a random thing, but for the most part home shop for repairs do get out eventually depending on how important these cars are to them...Tell you from first hand experience, at a spot in my hot city theres a repair lay up on the side of a yard. Found them sittin' there for about 2 months...Hit five cuz' i wasnt sure on their future...Saw a couple of them on the metal headz section not too long ago...So hey, it depends i guess....If i were you i'd hit enough to not burn the lines and wait it out...They might get out and get wild...so shoot brotha....

WAKER 0 Posted May 12, 2003 HERES SOME ADVICE...... ITS BASICLY LIKE THIS. THE OLD TRAINS MIGHT GET SCRAPPED IF THEY ARE REALLY OLD.... THE NEWER ONES ARE GOING IN FOR REAPAIRS OR A LUBE JOB. THE BUFF IS ALLWAYS A FACTOR, BUT YOU CAN LOOK INSIDE THE BLACKBOX AND IT WILL SHOW THE DATE THE CAR WAS MADE, AND IF AND WHEN IT HAS BEEN REBUILT. THE NEWER CARS ARE PROBLY THE BEST BET TO RIDE....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
