BLMA: 89' Flatcar!!!!

[Iain]

Career change.  UPS hiring?   

[Mark5]

Oh dear...  It's in the newer paint scheme, so I'm off the hook for the moment...

 

Ditto. If they do these in the as delivered brown, or the 1st yellow scheme then I'm in!

Gee Craig, between this and the spine car, why don't you just put a gun to our heads and DEMAND our money?????

What a great model:

No need for guns or demands, with these kinds of offerings the money just leaps out of Mr. Wallet by itself.

For those of us who use direct deposit for paychecks, it's simpler just to have them go straight into Craig's bank account.  Craig, do you take ESPP? (since I'm not with Sun any more)   ;D


BTW Craig, the searchlight signals look absolutely AWESOME too -- but they need to be a kit too, since they are way too good to try to bash into the configs that I need

My UPS lady doesn't look anything like that.    I won't be ordering any. At least until the earlier ones come out. Wallet look out.

Here is some help for weathering (even tho they aren't all exactly the same car):

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...

These may not be 100% scale accurate, but the possibility of manipulating them for personal use seems almost impossible to resist...

[asciibaron]

wow.  just wow.  i'm in for 6 in a delivered scheme, when are they coming out?

[Ian MacMillan]

Man these are going to be saweet! Hello UPS TV trains!

[bsoplinger]

I'd be in for a dozen in as delivered Tuscan and another half dozen TrailerTrain (first yellow scheme). And a good flat trailer, whatever they call the type that's only a flat bed with a little half height sort of wind break at the front end of the trailer.

I'd like trailers like the Athearn Friehof (sp?) channel but with the delivery door. Many of the schemes that Athearn's done so far would more properly belong on them than the ones they currently make.

James, you're under-estimating our man Craig.  He did say he something about parties and birthday suits:



I sense a deal in the making. 

The arrows on that box are just a Freudian slip, right?

Nope,
thats a 'serving suggestion'...

All of a sudden I can think of some things Brown can do for me...

Just keep in mind that UPS retired that logo in 2003, so the picture's at least seven years old...

Yeah, so now she's legal!
