    Train Works is showing a New PS 4427 Covered Hopper. It looks really good.  If I still had a layout I would purchase several. Nate Goodman (Nato).

samusi01: Yes.

It's good to see some movement from Trainworx.  Hopefully the rest of their backlog will be along fairly soon.  I was beginning to worry about whether they were still in business.

I note the Chessie cars sold out first at MBK. There's some folks out there with good taste.

FYI, for you rock island fans,, all six cars are different. Some have the wheel dot, some have aci labels.  There is also a piece of artwork that varies from road number to road number. Really cant tell what it is. Maybe a stamp from shop the car was built or repaired at.

Some are Route Rock, some are Rock, some are The Rock.

630266 has an oxygen hazard placard on it... only one it seems based on pics on Lombard's website, they show each individual car. I enjoy this variation of where's Waldo.

The red ones are new from the late 60s and the green are repaints late 70s.

Oxidizer 5.1 from the looks of it. And I agree the variations are nice.
