Bluford caboose decorated samples... and hoppers too!

Hi everyone,
As I mentioned on a previous thread, we recieved five decorated samples of the N scale cabooses while we were at Trainfest. I finally got pictures of them posted on our website:
http://www.bluford-shops.com/bluford_93_034.htm

This isn't all of them, just the ones they could finish in time for the show. Production cars shouldn't be too far behind.

Also, immediately upon return from the show, we shipped 10 new hopper runs out to dealers. Pictures of them are here:

Enjoy,
Craig

I'm interested in getting a few of these. Will the L&N/Family Lines version have the correct roof?

Funnily, I was just looking into getting an Atlas VO1000 frame and trucks to scratchbash a model of GN X177.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Hmm. We'll have to add that to the list of things to do.
Regarding the L&N cabeese, they'll have the same roofs as the MoPac version.
By the way, we also noticed that a couple of the transfer caboose samples we received had the tool box and fuel tank which will not be (and shouldn't be) on the production cars. The GN, KCS, and AMTK cars should not have them.

I have a plethora of cabooses and was trying to justify buying a couple of these and then it came to me...these would be a good start to kitbash a homemade snow flanger!   8)
