Postwar Freight Cars

 #41284  by dkgrubb
 
Hello,
I have several old postwar freight cars, and just out of curiosity I looked up their value in the Greenberg Guide, and I was surprised to discover that they really weren't worth very much. Does any one know why this is? One would think with the age of the cars, and the high quality with which they were constructed, they would be more valuable. Any ideas?
Thanks!!
Keith

Hi Keith,

The cars you have could be a larger production run, which would decrease the value, or just not desirable, run in many catalogs, or such.
