Which outfit produced the cars that remain on the NMRA website? I went into the website but could determine very little about the cars available.

For those who are getting excited about the NMRA closeout sale, although there were SHS Glencoe and Skokie boxcars when the ad was produced, the website no longer includes them. Almost all of the rest still seem to be available, however, at least for the present.
