From Chris Brimley:

"
Back by popular demand, ExactRail offers a limited re-release of the Trinity 6275 Plug Door Boxcar in 2 ‘Forward-Thinking’ paint schemes and 12 all-new road numbers of the ‘As Delivered’ paint scheme in HO & N Scale.

Beginning in 2004, TTX Company began receiving Trinity Industries Inc. 6275 cubic capacity, plug door boxcars. With a fleet of over 600 Trinity-built cars, and over 1100 similar cars built from NSC and Gunderson, this modern car is everywhere!

ExactRail’s model features accurate fonts and colors. It is adorned with stand-off detail, including ExactRail’s separate door tracks, door bars, etched stainless steel cross-over walks, and wire formed grab irons. Furthermore, the Trinity 6275 Plug Door Boxcar features steel-nailable flooring that is meticulously recreated.

-TTX/FBOX 2004 “As Delivered”: This paint scheme represents the FBOX car as the lot was delivered from Trinity Industries in 2004. This model accurately captures the smallest details—including extraordinarily well-rendered warning labels on the doors!
Check these out!
-TTX/FBOX #504634 (ExactRail ReRelease) “Forward Thinking” Repaint: TTX/FBOX #504634 is a remarkable replica of this one-of-a-kind paint scheme. ExactRail’s model has unique artwork to represent all of the repaint details of the prototype—unique on all four sides, all the way around the car! This is includes some of the unique idiosyncrasies of the prototype—including the way in which the prototype logo sort-of “haphazardly” wraps across the ribs.
-TTX/FBOX #505213 “Forward Thinking” Repaint: TTX/FBOX #505213 is a replica of a one-of-a-kind prototype. #505213 is a wreck damaged car. The left side was repainted with TTX’s new Forward Thinking logo, while the right side retained the markings of original paint scheme.

Well, I'm in for a few. I hope they eventually also rerun their bulkhead flats.

Well the link takes you to the N scale model but the right up in the post above I believe was taken from the HO model.

Here's the right up of the N model;

Ok, now is the chance for all the people lamenting Exactrail sitting on tooling to show them there is profit available in N scale. Go out and buy these. I have no dog in this fight as they are way too new for me. But they do have a couple cars I would like to see some more of, so buy, buy, buy!

I did my part, x 8. If the supplies hold out long enough, I may get the remaining 4 as delivered new numbers. The one offs don't hold as much interest here, as lord knows where they actually run.
