Micro-Trains 2014 Christmas Car with Year?

Hi,

This is mainly for Joe.  I saw the recent releases for  Micro-Trains and saw the new Christmas Poststamp Cars as coming in Oct/Nov/Dec.  Though they look quite nice I did not see anywhere that they had the year on them.  Is Micro-Trains going to release a Christmas car with 2014 on it?  I've been getting them for my wife since 1991 when we were married and have just started a set for our "niece" who was born in 2008.  They are both going to be pretty disappointed if they don't get a 2014 car!  :(

thanks,

Kevin

They're going to issue them with decals, so you can put on any year that you want.   :trollface:

I would venture a guess that the most accurate answer could be obtained by ... contacting MT directly.

The post marks on the back side of each postcard shows the months Oct., Nov., and Dec. (the months of issue)  The year is not legible under my magnifying glass, I presume it says '14

it'll have the year on it.  We still have a little fine tuning to do with the artwork.

Foobie or not, I heard that the N scale version is an exact replica of the real 1:1 Micro Trains Christmas car.  They even use the correct body style.
