Except the BN in the 1970s wouldn't be leasing 50-year-old equipment I would think. It's somewhat of a miracle that so many H30s and H32s lasted into CR in revenue service and received CR repaints. I guess cement cars must be built well, given the abuse they incur just from the commodity. A good number of the 1964-built NYC 3500PD "Flexi Flo" hoppers are still active today.

The H30's are fine models, but the PRR Circle Keystone scheme paint color is almost chocolate rather than oxide red.... :(

Damn, the wagon tops are out of stock there already! *****. I was hoping to grab one this weekend... hopefully there will be a restock, otherwise I'll be making a call to California.

Hi Ed   I assume you've noticed that MBK has restocked...   Best, Harry

Victor, you select "in store pickup" when checking out (Mbk) - ie as your shipping method.

On the FVM Wagontop Cabeese schemes, there are two gaps: 1945-1955 and 1969-1973. I have a funny feeling we'll see an announcement in the future with new number reruns on the popular sellers along with three new schemes:

Yep, but I already grabbed one over the weekend at the Timonium show. It's so small!

They are in at BLW, but not sure if there are extras as I had pre-ordered.

As an aside.. this is a great model.  Kudos to FVM !

I could also see another run with the later Chessie era scheme wth the 90- prefix.

In an e-mail, Matt told me that he is sold out of the Wagontops and more runs are planned.

BLW has shipped mine...barring supplies, this is my last purchase until the MT Erie baggage cars arrive (They'll seriously dent my monthly N scale budget!)

I got that notice too, but it's taking them as long to pack and ship than it is for the boat ride. Expect mine to be in the mail box Saturday. BLW usually has been pretty responsive, but I've gotten really delayed responses, if I get any at all, on emails and the phone is continually busy. Maybe they're shipping out a ton of orders.

I seen the Chessie version at Timonium for $25 and I passed it up  :facepalm:  I don't really need one for my main focus (modern CSX) but if I venture into dual timeframe layout, it would be necessary.

I would love to get some of those marker lights as separate parts from FVM. Sunrise Enterprises used to make marker lights, but they are gone.

If interested, make your desires known to Matt.
