New Photos of Trainworx Highway Trucks at the National Train Show

[cfritschle]

Rather than hijack the Athearn bi-level auto rack thread, if you scroll 3/4 down the same page you will see new photos of the Trainworx trucks.

There is also a reference to what has been the "top secret" Freightliner Cascadia!

Thank you for putting the build date ranges on each truck!

The painting and printing on those new trucks is just mind-blowing....

Now I need one of these in black cherry with Marten paint and a 53ft Marten Reefer, make it look my MIL's rig

Pat showed me a page of artwork for the 53-ft trailers at the convention in Sacramento.  And while there were at least a dozen different paint schemes on the page, I do believe the Marten reefer was one of them.

So, I think there is an excellent chance you will be seeing one in the not to distant future!

I can also confirm Marten and a bunch of equally wallet busting releases will be following soon. I can't wait to see the September releases!

That tanker looks so darned nice!

Wallet busting indeed!

Ryan,

Pat is one of the few manufacturers that includes the dates, which I also really appreciate. 

I am in the process of creating a "convention handout" for medium and heavy duty trucks like the one I have been using for autos, vans, SUVs and light trucks.  It was far easier to find the built dates for those smaller vehicles than it has been for some of the trucks.  I have more than a half dozen books on trucks with more on the way, but determining the range of built dates can be difficult.  Often, published sources will have conflicting dates.

Did you get a chance to stop by the N Scale Vehicle Association's table in Sacramento? There were so many people to talk to, I cannot remember everyone I met.

Sounds like I need to push for the black cherry freightliner.  Figured if I hide it on a module or layout, the MIL will eventually see it.

Hi Carter, I did attend the NSE show in Sacramento. I believe we talked briefly. So many N scalers, so little time.
