Cabts/Cabinets are likely shipments of sewing machine cabinets from Singer in South Bend (the original builder of the NJI&I).  They made these until shuttering the plant in 1955 due to fading supply of local hardwoods.

For sale; from my late brothers collection and a few of mine, are these diesel locomotives. Most are from the STMFC era.

All are priced to sell, with shipping charges extra based either on USPS or UPS rates, your choice. 
At these prices you could purchase one or several for a child, or grandchild to get them started in model railroading.

Only fair quality. It’s from the DVD, “Railway Journeys, The Vanishing Age of Steam”, Disk Two.

Notice the dropping of whole ice blocks into the bunker. Maybe practical for moving the blocks over the series of bridges but very hard on the reefer bunker.

And it’s much more clear than the slide.

A great example of how the car service rules were more honored in the breach. ACL to Chicago? P&LE to Minneapolis?? PRR to Montana??? Just goes to show, when the customer needs cars, any cars will do.

Jeff:

Ryan, Kevin Leddy, and myself can all be 'blamed' for this. We were discussing RPM's back in 2019 and one of us said 'we wish some of these were closer' and then the next comment was 'why not here?' And, here we are! The response so far has been very good and supportive and we're really excited about the potential of this. Hopefully we'll see you in June.

Jacob,

Good to see the web site up and glad to hear of a positive reception.  I can remember tossing around the idea with Ryan Harris on more than one occasion over the past several years. Glad others have the "bandwidth" to get this off the ground.  One tremendous benefit to tout is D/FW is readily accessible by plane from just about anywhere.

Hoping to attend,

Thanks Michael. We've been very surprised and pleased with the response so far. Our goal is to host a quality event that does justice to the RPM community. 

Jacob Damron

Great idea, Jacob, and wishing you much success with this latest RPM!

"InterMountain kits build up into excellent models and these are no exception. One aspect not readily apparent is how to install the supports on the roof for the icing ramps." (caption on the inset photograph at bottom right)

Supports on the roof for the icing ramps is an interesting feature, something that could be modeled fairly easily, and make the cars distinctive.  But in the photograph, it does no appear that any of the cars have the roof supports on them.

No, FGEX and ART did for sure.  I would imagine there are others.
