Checking the Moloco web site it appears their high end box cars are retailing at $55.00. Even beats Tangents $44.95 for their boxcars.
Getting pretty pricey for plastic freight cars, no?

RBBQ 79950-79957 will be included in the paint schemes!
According to BB 12, at just eight cars, these were the smallest group of insulated boxcars on the Q. They were built 11/65 at Fruit Growers Express' Alexandria, VA shops. They group was assigned to Procter & Gamble service out of Kansas City, MO. They used 12' 2" wide plug doors.
Who says we don't get some of the rarest Q equipment in HO scale? Now if we could just get a good RTR flat car!
Any additional info on these cars and their service would be welcomed.
BTW, the announcement shows that Moloco is doing this same car in GN green as well.
