MTH keeps producing ore cars every single year. They have made them in many railroads that did not have ore cars. 

Four railroads that did have ore cars are

Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific DWP

Elgin, Joliet & Eastern EJ&E second-hand from CN or DM&IR

Escanaba & Lake Superior

Lake Superior & Ishpeming.

You can put the more colorful Diesel Locomotive paint schemes on the ore cars if that will make them more attractive to operators and collectors.

The MTH Premier modern tank car has not yet been painted and printed in this PROCOR scheme. 

PROX 43078, PROX 43079, PROX 43080 have the same scheme.

Since there are GP7s locos, GP9s locos, Ore Cars, and cabooses in the RailKing line it should be possible to make unit ore car trains for the Canadian National's Great Slave Lake Division.

Since MTH and Lionel did the Reading and Northern 425, how about the R&N 225.

If  I didn't know how good your work was I would think these were period photographs.

Many of these paint schemes will not be factory produced in China, until somebody else purchases M.T.H. operations in Maryland.

I wouldn't hold my breath on those MTH wants and desires.  Best to stock up on what you need and custom paint the rest.

Thanks Dave.

With the latest situation, this old thread is now a bit outdated. Only a few items were produced during it.

Perhaps when we know more about any new suppliers and DCS, we could try it again.

Steve, your work is amazing. 

We all understand the costs of new tooling, yet why the manufacturers have not decorated engines and cars in other paint schemes is baffling. Especially when they have the correct tool. We all await that information on MTH.
