Good Morning Everyone!

We are releasing a new piece of rolling stock today. In fact, it's already on our website. Can anyone find it? We've got about 320 train items, so happy hunting!

This is just for fun, I will post the official announcement later this morning!

I am going to guess that it has something to do with the NYC system and a scheme from 1945-1946.

Kudos to Mark coming up with this hide and seek to get people to look through their Train offerings.

(NOTE: this is a brilliant offering because with just minor changes at least two other prototypical pieces of rolling stock are possible to produce)

Agree, another homerun.  Love that Pacemaker detail on both ends.  Menard's is just getting so awesome.  Those other guys can't help but notice.  You can buy three or four great cars for the price of one of theirs.  I have two more orders on the way.

slaving away all day, and I come back to see this. What a nice surprise !!  oh yaa, and ordered.... dang,, this wasn't in my suitcase when I got back from the dock... LOL..

Bob, they weren't at the dock for you cause Mark got there first! He need more of your money, cause he knows you will jump on what he puts out there. If he put a flat car with a pair of womens shoes on it, you would buy a dozen just to give your wife the shoes! LOL

I HAVE ORDERED TWO OF THE COMBINED BOX CAR SETS IN THE PAST

ANY CONSIDERATION TO PUTTING THE NEWEST CARS TOGETHER IN A SET OF SIX OR EIGHT

THANK YOU

jpc,

That is a good question. I'm curious if others would purchase an assorted pack of boxcars.

I like the 6 or even 4 group of cars better than 8. I can't make good use of 8 of the same car/rr but 4 or even 6 fit better. I want to buy them in a group so that they all have separate car numbers. I bought 8 of the Mil Rd coal hoppers and am looking to sell 4 of them unused. 

BTW, 4 oz of wheel weights neatly inside the hoppers does a fine job of them riding the rails nicely. I put two ounces over each end of the cars.IMG_1991IMG_1990
