Two heavy steel "ride in" boxcars w/aluminum trucks

[Caribou Doug]

I picked these 2 boxcars up from a friend who wants me to list them for him. They appear to be sized for 2.5 scale. The are heavy gauge steel and seem to be built well. The smaller car (4 foot) seats one and the other (6 foot) has seating for four (facing each other). I would think they were built for kids as you sit inside the car. He is asking $500 each with 7.5 gauge aluminum trucks. Both cars were just sandblasted as he was going to add detail hardware and repaint them but decided he doesn't have the time or energy. He believes they were built in the late 60's and he has had them since the mid 90's. He said the trucks will need some work as they ran ok but he said they seem loose. The cars are located 20 minutes South of Cleveland, Ohio and available for pickup there. They could probably be crated and shipped but that would be at the buyers expense. PM if interested.
