The SP repeater cars are cool, but only a two year window!  That is tight and about 10 years too late!

So MTL releases a CSX executive car in the new scheme, Lowell Smith has 3 announced in his line in the old scheme, being done by MTL.  But they are delayed and LS uncertain which scheme he wants to do recently.  I just cancelled my LS preorder, does this provide an answer to which scheme he'll do ????

Not my prototype but the L&N Tank is cool..

I guess there were several...

How can one determine if this is the "old" issue or the "new" issue from Micro Trains---It appears to me to be the old.

Old - Excess height white stripes

Hmm, I might have to go for those repeaters.

MTL never re-runs any cars without changing something (like the road number).

I assume he meant old excess height body style from the or new Greenville body style..

I get a negative feedback because a car I think is cool is too new for the era I model!  Absurd!  I don’t even get credit for pointing out the boldness of producing a model that ran for only two years!

I bet they could be used as generator cars that can be seen on a few specialty passenger trains similar to the CP Holliday Express and TRRA Polar Express in St. Louis...
I do wonder if that style car would make a comeback on those long PSR trains we see now. Unless thats what the DPUs are used for as well.

[nkalanaga]

I believe the DPUs serve that purpose, on the roads that use them.

What caught my eye were the flatcars loaded with Sherman tanks, links were on the home page rather than with the "new releases".

The reasons some members here give the down-votes make no sense.  Looks like someone took care of that.  This "bull" would never happen if there was a way to see who was doing the voting.  Unfortunately this is not in the cards.

Still think it's simply someone fat fingering the button while scrolling.  Doesn't even realize they up or down voted
