Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Do we need to order direct, or will these be available through the regular retail channels?  I will be getting all three, I just don't know from who yet.  Thanks.

Sweet!  I have a bunch already...and if I didn't pre-order the MTL PRR 2-bay hopper runner pack, I'd bite!

I did, however, stock up on the H21a hopper 3-pack.

Protip:  If you're modeling the PRR mainline in the 1950s, you need some Berwind GLas.

Apparently these leaked out on the Bowser page.  I asked but they didn't say if they were being sent to distributors.  BLW doesn't list them yet. MBKlein's won't until/if they show up.  None of the other usual sources have listed them either.

Have there been any new runs of GLa hoppers in N scale? It's been noticed that there are GLa's available on your order page with 3 number each of PRR and B&O. If new, have any been sent to distributors or are they only available direct?

I'll take a couple of B&O and Pennsy I got several of the H21A's and they are great models, I also got quite a few of bowsers cylindrical hoppers including several undecorated ones to paint in Chessie, B&O and C&O. All are good models I hope to see more from bowser. 8)

Is the B&O version a foob or accurate for the B&O?

Also noticed in the photos what I think is a revised brakewheel piece with a thick collar around the shaft.

There were only 5 N-23 class left in 1962 on the B&O I model 1979/1980 a little out of era but oh well I like the cars.

The GLa/N-23's are in stock at MBKlein's.  About 20 or so of each in stock at the moment.
