Can someone direct me to where exactly the information about the VTTX cars is on the JTC website?    I've used up my bag of tricks to no avail.   And I don't see them on any e-tailer's site for pre-order.  I don't even see a post about them on the referenced FB page either.

Not formally announced yet - this is just a flyer from the show.

I figured that might be the case, but maybe they should rethink the title of the flyer..."N-Scale Product Announcement - Pre Order".   :trollface: :)

DRGW5349:  I've seen those "Scrap and Trash" gons on NS.  Growing up in the Northwest in the 60s and 70s, my thought was "new chip gons", but I couldn't figure out why anyone would be running woodchip cars in the Big Sandy area.

In a completely unrelated search, I came across this image from the JTC site.



It's from the "New Freight Car #1" page.

Yes, Ed - I hear you. It will get better.....  as you can tell, we've spent the money on New Tooling   :D

The 60' Flatcar Series will be officially announced soon. I believe that sample flyer was there for show discussion, as we haven't sent out the detailed info yet. We have first shot samples in testing now - the car and the new Very Real Knuckle couplers.  Details coming.

I'd rather you put the money into tooling too!

That's why I'm saying I got you.  Send me a PM with what your web plans are and I'll see if I can help.

Yes - although OVR announced them in HO shortly before Athearn's HO/N announcements.
