Been hoping for some more of the SP, SSW (brown), and CN boxes from Matt. The McCloud River is a bonus, too. Awesome!

I thought the same thing Larry, but out of my era. Saw a few on the A&M back in 2007, but they are quite rare.

Lock,I simply love odd name boxcars and that fills the bill as far as oddities go. :D

Whispers I even lettered 2 Trainman ACF  50' boxcars for IHB.I don't think IHB owns boxcars. :scared:

I think you cna pretty much count on that happening.

Luckily, nothing for me in this month's announcements but I know some people who will like having the Atlantic for sale all by it's lonesome.

April still has 3½ weeks to go.  According to the recent post on the FVM Facebook page:

Other April News - Quick Updates
HO & N Express Cars and Bunk Coaches, plus N Milw Cabooses due here in 2 weeks. HO & N B&O cars plus N Milw 50' Cars after that. Right behind them is the next batch of N GEVOs and HO SOO 7 Post cars. Production still a little slow - but catching up.

N GP60M & B Locos - not as fast as we'd like, but still moving nicely! Will be worth the wait! Should have good plastic soon and then right into production. Will post photos as they are available. Firm delivery dates when we have better info - but please plan on "Summer" for now.

NS GEVOs - Watch for an announcement in the next week or so on the first few schemes.


Seems they will appear in late April / early May.

+++++1 on the NS cab. Also would just love a regular NS paint job SD70ACe. But yes, very little if no difference to the UP version (unlike the SD70m with the different rear vents etc..)

Ignoring the heritage units, just getting SD70ACE's and correct GEVOs would be a huge plus....

So, correct NS cab, but wrong narrow handrails and two vent DB, cool, they will look like the almost correct CSX GEVOs.

I would be thrilled with the correct NS cab which would make a very convincing NS GEVO-far better then the NS GEVO we have now.
