Looks like the new ones are: Cargill (1964), Rock Island (1965), Peavey (1964), Milw (1965), NP (1965), and Far-Mar-Co (1972 repaint).

Hopefully, these will have body mounted couplers, etc.

I can't remember, but did the last run have body mounts from ExactRail?

I recall a post a year or 2 ago that Exact Rail was upgrading the N scale Tooling to have body mounted couplers.

Yes, they did.  I have some.

I went to Spring Creeks Open house/Train show yesterday.
They had quite a few of the big manufacturers displaying there.

As I walked by Scale Trains, I happened to notice they one of their new Ex-Exactrail hoppers on the table.
When I picked it up I noticed that it had a body mounted operating knuckle coupler. Probably an MTL or MTL knock-off coupler?

Shane was busy and I didn't got a chance to ask if they were planning to start using these instead of their own Boxing Glove couplers?
Let's hope they do.

I cleaned up the photo a little to show the coupler better, so don't judge the paint color.

See last post by me.
I think it's a clone, not made by MT.  But it's the same as the last release by Exactrail.

...sigh...

Like I need to spend money on yet more rolling stock. However, those Peavey cars are a must-have to park at the, yes, Peavey grain elevator under construction on my layout. Probably should pick up at least three numbers.
