Interesting, add his PRR trucks and you might come in at under $60!

He also has g39 ore cars ....

But it is in FUD and not FXD which will mean that you likely will have to deal with banding.  Will try emailing the designer to see if he can reload the drawings so that they will come out nearly perfect.

but! where else will you get them?
supply and demand pushes up the cost
and promises from other producers have not been followed through on
if you need or want them, now there is a source
price? well, it you need or want them, there they are
I bought 4
fwiw..sincerely--

I wouldn't buy any until I get a better look (or any look0 at the roof profile...based on the views linked, they look suspect...

Hi Jerry, the models are available in FXD, above the word Frosted Ultra Detail you will see 2 little images click on the right hand one and you will get the FXD price.

Actually...he's Michael Buehrer. He is a terrific modeler who did a killer GG1 diorama. He's a member of the N Scale PRR group. He posted pics. It looks pretty good! It's pricey, though. $50, and the FXD is $75. He said he barely has it marked up.

I meant to share this earlier in the week, but it didn't work out until now.

Hmmmmmmmm

That looks rrreaaally good.  I know one version matches the N&W BeK.  I wonder if he'd be willing to do one with the one square window on the doors?  Those would represent the cars later in life.

I see said the blind man!!!  Josh, are those FUD?  I can see banding on the sides... I could definitely be interested in the squared window print!!!

I know one version matches the N&W BeK.

Actually no it doesn't... the N&W car should have four rectangular windows on each door while his print only has two centered on the door... would be close but not quite right... maybe we can convince him to do the four window door...

I think it looks better than the Hell Gate Models version...

Ahhh, thanks Jerry.  I'd be all for the early and late N&W versions.  Not sure when the switch from four windows to one was made, so the four window may be out of my era.  With the MTL Baggage and Baggage mail, several N&W head end cars could be possible.  Now if only someone would just do a BeM mail car!

[chicken45]

Yeah, Jerry. FUD. I wonder how great the FXD version and if rivets won't look like hell when it's printed.

The problem for me is that it's $50 for just the body. You can buy FUD trucks there, too, but that's additonal cost. The HGM one comes with all that stuff plus decals and I forget what else.

I think I'm most curious about how rivets look in FXD.

Trambahner is also showing G39 Ore Jennys.

Yea, don't forget the Korozienschutzgrandierung; that *sounds* pricey, too 
Fun stuff, Otto K.
