A (loose) boat is included. With the boat’s white top and red hull, the “Standard Guide to Athearn Model Trains” lists its availability as "OP3: Out of production; rare – not likely to be found”. Normally, the guide reflects cars produced with an error during the manufacturing process. However, it does not reflect several errors found on this car:

• built date on other cars is “1-40” but is “1-47” on this car.
• just above the date the car’s length is reflected as “L-42-0” but further to the left the length is “L-40-0”
• no other cars have the length and built date on the far right of the sill (see pictures of other similar cars I’m selling).

Item described as best as possible but is sold “as is” so please e-mail me if you have any questions.

Buyer pays actual cost of shipping by USPS priority mail. Insurance is optional. Shipping cost combined for multiple purchases. If you have multiple purchases, please e-mail me after your last purchase and I will send you an invoice with the combined shipping.

Payment method: Paypal, money order or personal check. If a personal check is preferred, shipment may be delayed pending clearance of check. Unless other arrangements are made, payment is to be made within seven days after auction ends. I will combine multiple wins to reduce shipping whenever possible.

Texas residents must pay 8.25% sales tax.

Check out my other auctions for more out-of-production or hard-to-find kits, especially Athearn “blue-box” kits. Athearn has discontinued manufacturing them, so they will become extremely scarce and hard to find in the years to come.
