A New Container Line

Seen on p. 58 of the May/June NSR:



:lol:  The advertisers index lists the company as "A New Container Line".   Anyone have the scoop on this?

That was my first reaction too.  But since they have already announced theirs publicly, and have shown samples in Springfield, I don't see why they would try to be cagy.  It looks more like company B just wants to get the word out before Scale Trains corners the market.  Hopefully this embarrassment of riches does not cause both companies to suffer.

Doesn't N-Scale have a manufacturers advertising index in the back?

Haha, I'm reserving comment until I know who the mystery manufacturer is.  8)

But, new body styles are good, I just hope they're done well. Should round out the modern Hunt and Schneider fleets well though.

I wonder if Micro-trains will just bury their 53ft container now.   :facepalm:

I'm going to guess FVM or maybe Deluxe Innovations rising from the ashes?
Seems like in the past year we went from nothing to an embarrassment of container riches. Con-cor starts releasing again, Scaletrains enters the market, as does Atlas and Micro-trains. And now this.
No matter who it is, I'm seeing a container hoarding problem in my future.

I was contemplating a domestic stack train to pair with my seaborne train that is dominated by 40' cans.  These are really neat looking trains so I am looking forward to seeing what emerges.  I agree, it feels like we are now being flooded with containers after a period of drought.
