I can't wait for these. Not that they were prevalent up here, but they do stand out.

[GaryHinshaw]

Great.  Looking forward to getting some of these to round out my wine train.

[Mark5]

Awesome! Gotta have at least one.

[unittrain]

Excellent!! Got 2 of the 70's scheme on order 

[jagged ben]

That cushion coupler looks excellent!

Thanks, Bagged one!

Walthers also shows most of them in stock, so any LHS can get them.

I am concerned that more and more photos pasted to this forum are blocked-out little X's. Isn't there a fixed protocol or photo sites that are designated for this function?

I'm getting that also and I rarely got them before.

No we don't have designated sites. What usually happens is the person putting the photo link in has the photo set to something other then public on the host site. Once that's pointed out it usually gets fixed. We also occasionally have browser issues.

Put order in with BLMA so long ago the credit card expired and I had to update the order with them.

Yes, it's been so long for me, the hobby shop is no longer in business.    

EDIT: 

I'm not sure I'm disappointed at my order disappearing into the ethosphere.

I have to say, in looking at photos on the MBK site, I'm not in love with the decoration on these cars.   They appeared to have used the old (wrong) MTL "Brown That We Use Whether The Car Was Brown or Red or Some Shade In-between" for these cars.   And, not feeling it with the small logo either.    I expect this from MTL and Intermountain and....ok everyone except Atlas, Exactrail, and BLMA. (and I'd say that maybe even Trainworx has shot up the list to belong in that group, of late.)   I always put BLMA on a pedestal and I guess I have to acknowledge that even the king has a bad performance on occasion.   As always, I'll see what they look like in person, but that didn't help the Deluxe BNSF Maxi-IV's....MBK's photos were unfortunately spot-on.

Yeah, it looks like the no-logo/small-logo cars could stand to be a tinge more red.  I'm going to get some anyway because they're quite appropriate for Tehachapi, and they look really good.  I'll repaint them --- eventually --- if it ends up bothering me.
