Any word on when the transfer caboose first run with hit the selves?

[screeh]

Excellent news (again)!

There's a pic of 356020 in multimark paint at Chris VanderHeide's brilliant website...

...and you could also take a look at the CDS Lettering dry transfer set #448.

Cheers,

Stu

Found the pic of the script car in the Morning Sun CP Color Guide. We've not seen pics of the multi-mark version. Either of you have a link you could share? We'd love to do them both.

I'll look Craig...I have multimark in converted gon's but haven't found the hopper shot I know I've seen before....

Some CP woodchip cars would be nice!

However, I could really go for some more offset hoppers in he multimark scheme and the CN noodle. Six of each just isn't enough!

We received 5 decorated samples of the transfer cabooses at our hotel in Milwaukee and displayed them at the show. Usually that means the production cars are not far behind. Figure before Christmas. We haven't confirmed that with our factory manager yet but its our best guess 'till we hear. That group includes these: http://www.bluford-shops.com/bluford_93_016.htm

Interesting article but definately incomplete as it completely ignores roads such as N&W, C&O, and WM

Warren already sent us the picture. SAL will be in the second group of chip hopper announcements. Did you also notice the AD&N car on the first page of the article? We'll have to nab that one at some point too.

Craig, we were talking about the Soo Line hoppers at Trainfest, specifically the Belt Railway ones.

The Soo Line Historical Society ran one in HO scale.  You can see it here: http://www.sooline.org/models/index.html (About midway down the page).

I'd still hit up the Yahoo group for specific numbers, although you can at least start off of the model.

When can we see the Western Maryland grey hoppers and late red hoppers?

I know, I know I keep asking! Doesn't hurt right?

Craig,
Will the B&M cars have the shaker holes in the extentions or just solid sides?

[Philip H]

Just pre-ordered my KCS two-pack with Chulvis . . . . 

[Iain]

Digging the NS cars!  Too late for me, but I'll get them anyway.

[Bluford Craig]

Okay, one at a time:
- We talked to the Soo people and they are sending us the BRC and Soo art.
- We can't do the WM gray cars, wrong car. A run of WM brown in the ph. II scheme is near the top of the list of runs to announce. Stay tuned.
- The B&M chip hoppers will not have the shaker pockets since B&M seems to be the only one with flat extensions that had the pockets.

I'll try to get pictures of the new arrivals up on the website today.
