Are these new tooling, or Roundhouse upgrades?

Did TTX have any 53' bulkheads in the TTX scheme?

I'm also looking at those CR hoppers and could always use more GONXs.

CR and CSX 2970's are welcomed. The gons are foobs, but the CN are so-so stand-ins (15 ribs on proto vs. 13 on the model), the CP are stretching for a stand-in... though the black w/multi would spice up a sea of red w/ multi cars.

Only thing that really interests me are the SOO Bulkhead flats.

So the price has climbed and no load? The new box isn't enough...

Unfortunately, prices continue to increase. According to BLW, Bachmann goes up 10-15% next month. With the economy, and delays, and price increases, I'm rethinking model railroading as a hobby.

If you think MRR is a pricey hobby, go check out Lie-Nielsen's website for woodworking hand tools.. :-) Or stroll into a well stocked ham radio store. Or get into digital photography.  :lol: :D

Any hobby is expensive. Personal restraint is the real trick!! Or just shopping around and going with used/older/cheaper.

I might be in for a UP ACF car. Not much else that tickles the fancy...
