Oh, Boy!  I see these most every day through the Tehachapi train cams - a couple in every rack train.

Hopefully that sit lower than the artwork shows, more like the HO operator series.  No mention of wheel size but I assume 28"?  - I didn't look under the details...  :facepalm:

Me too! The train cams are a great inspiration for my modeling since my layout's locale is in the San Joaquin Valley.

Just pre-ordered 2 BNSF, 1 UP and 1 KCS. An 8-month timetable isn't bad at all (it's been almost 3 years for those red-logo MTL TBOX cars for me...)

From the description on the ST site.
It's a bit different for each car as there are early and late versions of the cars based on prototype changes since production began.

It says the side panels are molded, so I assume they are plastic.
