Other that AC and SOO who had bulkhead gondolas ? Don't know if 2 roads warrant the expense .

Well,  NW, NS and others for sure, but what do you mean by bulkheads?

If it's not a tank, my guess and hope would be something everyone (except steam heads) could be happy with - the 4740 covered hopper.  1960s prototype still riding on the rails today.

Didn't Precision Masters/Red Caboose make that hopper in N?


Hmm... yeah, but I don't
think Red Caboose has
released them recently...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Ryan, I don't disagree with that.   They were initially out of my era, but since I've moved up a couple of years I probably should revisit.

Nevertheless, my pic was simply an extremely thinly veiled attempt at poking fun at the propensity for BLMA and Exactrail to release the same models there for a while.

I totally missed that...hahaha!
I jumped on the opportunity to plug for the TBOX.

What were the first build dates on the TBOX'es and FBOX'es?   Quick scan kept coming up with 2003 photos so I'm guessing sometime around then which is still a tad early for me.

Yes but loooooong out of production, as noted.  And never fully taken advantage of in terms of paint schemes when available.  Doubly so considering it has been so long since produced and the prototype continues to go on, getting patched out and freshly painted in new schemes..  PIC, Tangent is releasing them (in HO) in a (contemporary) NS scheme.

The Red Caboose car was an Ortner with 5 bays.  Different animal from the Tangent car

A bulkhead gon would be a new body style not done before, so it is a possibility.
