From Stephen Wajvoda
The following is a good list of what has been produced in the last four years. Some of the cars and engines are still available at bigger hobby shops and mail order places.
For example, Intermountain is out of stock of their 40' boxcar but custom painted versions are currently stocked by Brooklyn Locomotive Works (http://www.blwnscale.com) and Des Plaines Hobbies (http://www.desplaineshobbies.com). Red Caboose list their 40' boxcar out of stock but can still be found. The Kato and Deluxe Innovation covered hoppers are still available.
Engines are becoming harder to find but I still find items at larger train shows and on ebay.
The most difficult (and costly) are the Micro-Train cars. The more recent releases can be found at list price but older cars would be found at collector prices (double or triple list price). I included list prices on the spreadsheet. The Micro-Trains web site (http://www.micro-trains.com) has a list of hobby shops that sell their cars. The directory is listed by state. The site also has the requirements for special run cars if the society would be interested is something.
Some hobby shops that specialize in n-scale and willing to ship:
Des Plaines Hobbies (847-297-2118)
End of Track Hobbies (847-455-2510)
Chicagoland Hobbies (773-775-4848)
