The CNW Hi-cube looks cool, as does the MP box and the tarped load.  The new laser cut buildings should be useful for small western towns.

I agree, the CNW car looks great - will have to research it.... I also kinda the NP woodchip car.... but what a waste of plastic; B&O coaches, nobody wants those.....

Maybe the CSX runner pack... nothing else for me.

Quoting from the MTL announcement"
"Baltimore & Ohio®
Road Numbers 5110 / 5015
These heavyweight paired-window coaches are painted blue with black roof, gray side bands and gold pin striping. The heralds and road numbers are lettered in gold. They’re based on Pullman plan B&O #2882-B and run on six-wheel passenger trucks. Built between 1914 and 1919, they had a seating capacity of 80 people, with walk-over seating. By the time of their B&O schemes, coaches would have already had some form of modification for the additions of the air conditioning.

#145 00 091
#145 00 092"
I am delighted!!!

I'd be more interested if the woodchip car was under, as nothing from NP ever made it to Louisiana.

Didn't I see a video somewhere with Stuarts loaded two to a car?

Built by Maxson, 57950-57960.  Other than the incorrect peaked roof, the MT model is a Pullman-Standard car (and as an aside, 'Hy-Cube' was a P-S trademark)

I was at the LHS today to get some paint and much to my surprise the MTL April release order had arrived.
The owner up packed it, but to his and my surprise only B&O coach 5010 was in the order, i.e. the usual two of each item.
The other B&O coach was not in the order.

Roger,

We have the second number in stock.  Either the dealer only ordered one or there was a mix up on our part.  I set one aside as they are packing up more today...let me know if you want it.

Cheers

He did not get #145 00 092.

He receives two of each new monthly release and I asked that he hold both cars of #145 00 091
and #145 00 092 for me.
I was at the university all day and did not talk with the hobby shop owner, so do not know what he learned from his distributor; seems like a distributor mistake.
Thanks for your reply and offer.  Will keep you apprised of what occurs.

[rogergperkins]

Joe,
Thanks again for your offer.
The hobby shop owner told me the rest of his order is on the way.
He learned that some step in the way he had his monthly new release order set up
did not include both numbers of a car.
He said he revised the order for future releases.
I think he is ordering directly from Micro-trains because he said shipped from Oregon.
Thanks again.
Cars should be in service on my layout next week.

I would get the CSX runners pack if it was Z-scale.

You must save yourself a lot of money.
