You're damned right it can .. Congratulations Craig .. hope you graduated Magna Cum Laude

[tom mann]

Congrats Craig.  Now get to work ! ;D

If you are a fan of BLMA on facebook, you will know what the new product is.

[up1950s]

Good on you Craig , now you can give yourself a raise , or fire yourself 'cause you now are over qualified . Will this put BLMA at risk because of aspirations higher and now qualified for ?

[Craig Martyn]

Thanks guys!  Long weekend but I'm DONE with College and ready to work on BLMA Models full time!  Watch out!   

Tom:  You sure my allusion on our BLMA facebook page was for the pending announcements?

Congrats on graduating!

Can I guess at boxcar brown, Conrail Blue, Railbox/TTX yellow and gray is only ok if it comes with red!

Something brown, something blue, something yellow, something........gray.

Well, that certainly eliminates carbon black cars!

Congrats on the graduation...that's a great accomplishment.

I checked out the FB site and there was (gasp!) conflicting info.  (so, I may have to notify the SEC, lol)  The info said two cars, one N only and one N/HO.  One posting said the "N/HO Car" was ultra-modern, and another said the "N/HO Car" was in a highly requested paint scheme from the 60's.   I suppose these two together COULD be possible, I just can't think of anything off the top of my head.  The KCS Retro Belle scheme on the new coil cars comes to mind I suppose.  Anyway, I just can't wait for the spines and the 89's.

Ok, I'll take a WAG.  The much-requested late sixties model will be an open tri-level auto rack to ride on the new 89' flat.  (I'm sure Craig was taught to leverage his investment.)

The ultra-modern car must come in gray...  that really narrows it down.  :-\  I'm guessing it's something we'll need a LOT of (think Top-Gon, PS-2, spines) so I'll go with an ultra-modern coal or grain hopper.  Oh wait, how about a Trinity PD hopper with all that great plumbing?  I can't wait!

P.S. Congratulations on the degree Craig!

[Craig Martyn]

Thanks guys!

I'll narrow it down a little for you...  The new announcements are NOT the new freight cars I hinted at - both of those will come this summer.  Rather, our announcements this week are new schemes, many highly requested, on previously released/announced models...  That should REALLY narrow it down!   

[Ed Kapuscinski]

PRR Top Gons, right? Ahahahaha.

[Mark5]

More covered stuff?

No F89J was ever converted to rack service....

[Ed Kapuscinski]

I just noticed the graduation announcement in the thread.

Congrats Craig! I feel like you've been in school forever...

Ah, OK.  So we're talking Trailer Train (brown) F89J's, and....oh, let's see...."Rock", (blue)  Chessie/C&O, (yellow) and Milwaukee Road (or CNW,CGW,BN,Frisco,NP) (gray) PS-4000's?

I would be all over the "plain" gray BN scheme, FYI.

[asarge]

C&O PS4000's!!! Awesome!!! ;D  Damn, I knew I shouldn't a mixed beer and cough medicine.
