I wonder if that "Save the Monarch Butterfly " boxcar is prototypical? It's very nice looking.

It's legit.

@Gozer the Gozerian Joe those flats look amazing! Better then the Intermountain 60 footers and rivals some HO offerings. I can't wait for some 1970s appropriate releases to get my dirty hands on some.

Same! Those flats look amazing.

You can just make out the end of the flatcar to the right of Roosevelt's car-

100% prototypical paint at least. Was started in 2022.

@Gozer the Gozerian Joe, any chance you can spill the beans on whether we can expect some farm and construction equipment from MTL similar to the military range (ala M1 Abrams and Humvee injection molded vehicles) as loads for this great new range of flat cars? Thanks

The car was built for loads so, construction and farm loads are high on my list

Tarped equipment loads would be great. AND...for the manufacturer, it helps avoid the "that model combine was delivered in 1972, but my layout is set in 1969" problem.
