Hi Guys,

On Friday afternoon, we shipped the following hopper runs out to dealers:
Illinois Terminal
Georgia Railroad
Erie Lackawanna
Kansas City Southern
Bessemer & Lake Erie
Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo (Dane iron ore pool)

They should be arriving at retailers over the next 2 weeks.

They look very nice.  I will be picking up all 12 Erie Lackawanna's and most likely those six Bessemer and Lake Erie's.  The EL's will fit right into my Conrail coal trains, since Conrail did not bother to repaint the majority of EL hoppers.  And those Bessemer's will look good in a 1957 era PRR train, even though I don't model that era.  But for some reason, I keep accumulating freight cars for that era.  Good thing my father does.  Thanks Craig.

I have had a pair of the EL hoppers on pre-order for a while.  Will be nice to have the real 70-ton prototype in my Conrail trains versus the Atlas 90-ton foobies.
