Bluford's December announcements

[Bluford Craig]

Hi Guys,

Our December announcements are now up. This is the first group of our new cabooses. We starting off with 2 of the five body styles. The other 3 will follow in stages after the first of the year.

Very cool Craig. I love the info you present along with the announcements. It makes it easy to make the call on whether to get stuff (in my case, not this run), but I really do enjoy it.

One thing... when are you gonna do the CR 8 Door cars with the "normal" logo that they wore for most of their careers?

We have a Conrail double door already on the schedule so we likely won't announce a quad door one until after they have been relelased.

Cool Always look forward to you releases, I can't wait till the GTW and Chessie 8 doors are released, one thing though I'd like to suggest is to darken the Chessie blue a little I purchased the last release and they seemed too light I was wondering why because the B&O and C&O cars were the correct shade of blue.

Sounds good to me, more time so save up the sheckles... I just wanted to make sure they were on your radar. For those of us who model "GM Towns", the 8s are key, and just remember, the non-quality cars have a much longer appropriate time period than the Q logo cars.

Ooh, I'll be all over the L&N and/or CRR transfer cabooses in the Family Lines scheme, when available.  I would want to repatch these to Seaboard System (SBD), but that shouldn't be hard.

Awesome!  I'll eventually have to get one of the MoPac's.  They are past my era but I am going to have a handful of stock for a late 80's session and I always loved the MoPac platform cabooses.  Great stuff!

Very nice! I'll need to wait on other road names..I think CR would be nice..

Those cabeese are sweet, but way out of my price range.

...On the proverbial drawing board.

I have a big ziploc full of caboose parts (mostly old MP/Atlas bay-window cabooses, and an Atlas EV that I was gonna use as a base) that I was going to use to try to kitbash a few of these.  Since this is a secondary project for a secondary era it never got much priority on the project list, and now is obsolete in an instant, as far as I am concerned.   If you want them to try and take a shot at it, they're yours...just send me your address.

Love the MP.  I'll load it up with (the other Craig's) signal boxes for MOW work:

How about some ballast hoppers to go with?

Didn't PC also have a green transfer caboose similar to the MP/UP ?

Those would be the N6A ex-NYC Transfer caboose.
