Hmmm, I'll have to get some of these. Amherst is turning into an expensive show with all the announcements.

Are these the same ones being made by Athearn? Or does Otter Valley make these?

Cool.  Two new Canadian manufacturers both dipping into N scale on the same day.    Athearn is doing the 6400 version of this car (very similar, but still different) so smart of Otter to do the 6000.  I'll step up for a few of each.  But hot damn, I need to save some money for the Aurora boxes and the ST reefers.

Looks like we all picked the wrong year to stop working overtime.

I saw one of these on NS in Kenova a couple years back.  Only one I've seen.  My first thought was "Why is a 1960s/70s woodchip car running here and now?

They're really not that close, especially the truck locations, but, modeling the Northwest in the 70s, I'd never paid any attention to modern scrap cars.

Oops, Athearn is also doing the 6000s.  But only one roadname in common.
