Aurora 7550 60' Plate F Greenbrier Boxcars

[rdg5308]

New N scale boxcars.

Far too modern for me but looks to be a beautiful model.

Hell, yea. It was a good day for N scale at Amhearst, I guess.

These will sell, and Aurora is an up and comer in HO as well. The big dudes speak highly of their offerings.

I've seen their posts on Facebook and they make lots of modern stuff in HO. I'll definitely pick up some of these when they show up, especially the Ferromex and UP versions. We can never have too many choices in N.

I came upon them maybe 6 months ago... with the vague website and lower MSRP prices, I got the feeling that this is a Chinese based company developing and producing North American Trains. 

Not that there is anything wrong with that..

They're Canadian.

No more Chinese then any other importer/manufacturer as far as I know.

Oh my.  Literally #2 on my most recent top-5 list.  And every road name on offer.  And a high-end model to boot. $$

Their HO offerings have been sweet, hopefully more to come from them in N.

Sweet.  The golden age of N scale.

Are these available thru dealers/distributors or just direct ?

Lombard and Hiawatha both carry Aurora in HO, so imagine they'll have the N Scale as well once released. 

Here's the list of US dealers carrying their stuff.

The golden age of MODERN N scale- I don't need these but I'm glad they guys who do are getting them, they are an incredibly common (and distinctive) car.

Indeed.  Here's a random screen grab from one of the Tehachapi web cams this afternoon:

I’ve seen Aurora Miniatures at several southern Ontario train shows throughout 2023.  Their HO offerings were so impressive, that I have always stopped to examine the models & chat with their rep (I otherwise just breeze right on past non-N vendors). 

They truly have absolutely exquisite representations, and this is the first I’ve heard about N scale from them.   Pretty exciting!

Their product offerings are much too modern for my modeling era, but I give them 5 stars for this:

Please note: As freight cars have relatively short product development cycles, they will simply go on sale as they arrive. Advance reservations / preorders are NOT required and NOT accepted for all freight cars unless otherwise noted.

It appears, from their production schedule, that they stopped using preorders in mid-2022. More power to them.
