The TCA has announced the following cars which I found interesting. I was hemming and hawing on ordering the 2 cars and I finally bit the bullet. They look great in the photo. They DO seem to be selling fast.

I normally don’t preorder cars from the TCA and other clubs. But these were so attractive that I didn’t want to miss out. So I made sure I got my order in.
Ironically, I just placed my order and the website said only 4 left (of the PRR double boxcar set)!
Look for the Atlas 36' reefers to compliment the boxcars.
Empire Line, 8045-1,-2,-3,-4
Union Line, 8037-1,-2,-3,-4
Do you have a link? I couldn't find them on the TCA website.

Hi Brad,
Go to:
https://www.tcatrains.org/shop/
and click on Exclusive Offerings / Train Cars. If you only see a few train cars, it means you're only on the public side of the page. You have to go to the upper right corner of that website and look for "member login". Once you're logged in and you go back to the store, you see ALL the offerings, including the ones discussed above.
And to those people above that mentioned limited availability, yes, I just checked, and there's only 3 of the 2-car sets remaining to be reserved.

Since we moved here in CA from PA nine years ago, I have been migrating my fleet to mostly Union Pacific and Amtrak trains. I sold all of my CSX and Norfolk Southern engines and freight cars.
BUT LOL, all of a sudden I have a renewed interest in PA rolling stock! I ordered these nice looking PA cars from the TCA website and recently purchased some other PA rolling stock. I’m down to just two PA locomotives, my scale GG1 and a E6 Atlantic. Maybe another PA locomotive may be needed soon - I am fond of the camelbacks…
There are now 0 of the 2-car sets available to pre-order.
When are these cars supposed to ship?
The latest edition of the TCA National Headquarters News has a estimated shipping date of November 2024 for the cars.
