Thanks Dave.  I will probably take you up on that, but I'll fly up to Omaha this time.  What's the closest airport to you?   ;D

Brian

...that would be Omaha-Eppley airport...

Yes, we have flying machines and electricity out here in Nebraska now.  Some of our roads are even paved! ;D

So we finally have an 89' flat in N that will be AVAILABLE even if the moon is not blue. Thanks Craig! A soon as you do some TrailerTrain yellow cars from the 80's, enjoy my money  ;D

And hey, it only took 50 years for this to happen... maybe in another 50 we'll get SD40-2's continuously available. What, too wishful

Yeah, trailers...

We need more options for 40-footers.  Athearn's been awesome with their Fruehauf Z-vans, but we need some Stricks too!

Would the earliest iteration of these be in brown?  The flier says 66-68, which puts it right in my wheel house.  Looking forward to seeing future releases.

And yes, trailers would be a good thing.  I'll send you the WMRHS magazine that goes on ad nauseum about the WM trailer fleet...

Yes these were originally delivered in Trailer Train brown; however, the deck configuration was completely different than the modern RTTX car.  That said, we plan on doing every variation possible, in due time...and there are LOTS...

Trailers...   ;)

If Craig is half as savvy as I think know he is, he's got these trailers/logos up his sleeve:

and/or this one on the right:

Is it paved or a grass strip with candles for lighting.... :P

How far is it from you?  Hate to think about walking from the North side of Omaha...

To sort of stay on target, I'd love to see some UPS pup trailers to load on those flats I already pre-ordered from Chulvis.. Is the UPS licensing fee that high to make it feasible?

Great job Craig! These cars are way overdue!!

Now that we have something to stick Athearn trailers on, maybe they will sell faster!

BTW, you in you're Bday suit NO. The girl in the video, girlfriend or not, much better.  ;D

As much as I need UPS pups and vans, my money would be on these... unless we somehow got over the licensing issue....

I sense a deal in the making.  8)
