I dunno if anyone has seen the new train only auction site upbids.net but there is a 1/20.3 brass rail car on there for $150. I can't tell who the maker is and can only barely make out a "20.3" on the box label, but it is in the F scale section. Actually it's the only auction in the F scale section.

I'm not the seller or affiliated with the site, just thought the price was decent and maybe a fellow narrow guager would be interested in it.

That's the Aristo rail car (its only 1:20 offering). TrainWorld had them on closeout for about that or less, I believe.

Any idea how it runs?

I've only talked on one person who has one, he came up on the Aristo forum and then we exchanged private emails. It did not run great, no real drivetrain problems, just poor electrical pickup and not real smooth or good low speed.

This is only one person, the only one I've ever talked to.
