Eh, until I can get one through Chuck or MBK, my wallet is definitely safe.

I'm not buying their stuff sight-unseen.

Those are pretty sweet, good to see a new car in nscale.

Still have not got past the direct selling model, it just make no sense to order if I just want 1 or 2. The reason I have no ER stuff to date.

Too contemporary for me. Come on Exactrail, back to the 4427 paint schmes; Daddy wants some early Cargills, Dreyfus, NP... It would be nice if a decal manufacturer would recognize that these hoppers are now made in N and give us some decals too, since ER sells undecs.

BLMA do the 4750s? Sure, being it on. As long as there's less time between promise and shelf than BLMA's TTX brown flats.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

It's way too modern for you anyway...  It's a 2000s model.

What do you mean? They have nice photos of pre-production HO models filling in for N scale on their web site!  :trollface:

Best wishes, Dave
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Too modern for me, but I am curious - is the advertised 67'-11" length overall or inside the bulkheads?

Too modern for me, and had to correct them on facebook, if you looked at the initial announcement it showed the N scale one coming with Kadee 156 couplers and plastic wheels.

Will surely pick up 2-3, but I really preferred the "order it, it's here now" approach on the waffles better....

You mean order - they don't ship until 2013.

But whatever, this looks like it will be a great model and sorely needed....

Too modern for me but may have to get a few because it will probably be the only good bulkhead flat we will see in N. I still am hoping they will do the berwick boxcars in N.

There is a much older PS (IIRC) bulkhead flat that is very similar to this car. Maybe just slap an older TT logo on it and you have a nice little foob... what I've been thinking.

This was one of the cars on my top 5 list, so I'll put my money where my mouth was.  The only poser for me is shipping: if I bundle an order of these cars with the in-stock waffles and such, in order to reach $150, do I get free shipping to Canada, or do I pay shipping twice, @ $25.25 a pop?
