These custom runs are great fun. So many shortlines and fallen flags getting some motive power or rolling stock. MTH and Pat's trains has been good to Northern Michigan railfans. Mr. Muffin has put out a couple of nice pieces too as well as Berwyns and others!
With the heavy fish belly frame and some small lettering it looks like an XL class early box car.
The NYC and B&A custom runs are now open @JR Junction Train & Hobby!

I have bought custom run cars from the Upper Michigan group because l thought they were interesting, even if out of my concentration on roads in Great Plains to Rockies. Dealers are going to do what they know, geographically, except, maybe for transcontinentals like Santa Fe. Who else is out of northeast but Mr. Muffin, the Wheeling shop, and Public Delivery Track? So those are my hope for custom car sources. Not that any of them could not gin out a car of universal interest.
From what I've noticed, custom runs seem to sell very well. I don't really see inventory hanging around after the pre-orders are filled. Plus, practically every day we get notification of a new custom run being offered. I suppose we haven't hit the saturation point yet.
The idea of commissioning a custom run or 2 or 3 has penetrated my thick cranium. I'm curious how the process works.
