How Awesome is Bluford

Bluford Shops and George Hollwedel of Prototype N Scale have teamed up to produce a special run of Santa Fe's Ga-66 70 ton three-bay hoppers in the original 1948 scheme. These are "must have" cars for us transition era ATSF (and other western RR) guys. Unlike the original run, these pups come with metal wheelsets and what looks like MT couplers. Nicely done models, see below, so go get them while the special run lasts. They come in three-packs and singles and they are, imho, reasonably priced. Thank you Craig and George!
Regards, Otto K.*

*not in any way associated with the two fine gentlemen, just happy to score some additional proto-and-era-appropriate cars :D

As Otto said, these were a special run commissioned by George Hollwedel's Prototype N Scale Models. More pictures and contact info can be found on our Special Runs page: http://www.bluford-shops.com/bluford_93_014.htm

How Awesome is Bluford?

Umm, they created mass-produced corn. Need we say more? You gotta love guys that see a niche and fill it! Modelers rock!
