NMRA Convention / National Train Show 2013 News

Heh, yeah:  "Go f*** yourselves.".

But that wouldn't be an announcement, just a continuation of their current policy...

I never saw anything on the FB page about an N scale announcement. 'Course I wasn't about to read all the replies as they came in.

Maybe I am hallucinating....   

No really, I am 100% sure they said it - but what does it mean?   Perhaps a new line of billboards?  NASCAR branded Ford "C" Fire Engines?

I'd like to see them go nuts on more Ethanol, LPG and those recent ACF and GATX hoppers - which are really superb models....

(EDIT)  I just went back and can't find it...   Maybe it was Atlas or Intermountain....

[bbussey]

What would the active service dates of those Intermountain tanks be?

IMRC posted the announcement today on their website, all the information is there.  Four reissued schemes, four new schemes.  Build dates in the 1920s-1940s.  Metal wheels.

Glad to see the tooling repaired and again active.

You're not, I remember seeing it as well and thought, hmm, wonder what that could be noting it was coming from Athearn,

Athearn will have some new announcements in N fopr the show. But I seriously doubt it will be new tooling. Just new schemes on existing tooling........unless they are going to tool up an F-850 truck.

Good to see the 8k tank cars back and the 37AAR Boxcars with CofG and NC&StL will be popular down here. Wouldn't be surprised to see an announcement or 2 that's off the radar as the forums go.

Athearn says on Facebook there WILL be an N-scale announcement!

I would love to see an announcement of the GP40-2L and GP40-2W in N scale. Dare to dream, I suppose, but it wouldn't be out of the realm of probability. Just somewhere on the cold outer reaches of human thought...

Maybe we'll get a new box!

I'd like to see more of the Athearn TOFC flats done... maybe a red CP Rail foob with some multimark CP Express or Smith Transport trailers?

Wouldn't Walthers have a claim against Athearn for trademark infringement?

If TexNRails or Traincat are there --- find out if they still selling Nscale signals ..

Traincat will be there. Signals may not be ready, but they are still moving forward.

[asarge]

I saw on the floor plan Tex-n-Rails was going to be there, so I figured Train Cat would too.

Time to start guessing on that Kato freight announcement!!!!

 

Quit all this guessing and just pre-order! 

Best wishes, Dave

[asarge]

Yeah, pre-order that new car BLMA is doing. 24 numbers of announcement coming. Just never heard of that roadname before.

Those who know have already been told.
