They put 3 per 89' car. And its good they are unpainted, as they are in at least 3 different schemes the last 15 years. Depends on what year you model lol.

Brokemoto:  Atlas did one of their 1932 ARA boxcars in NdeM, new date 9-37.  So this isn't the first steam era Mexican boxcar made.  The second, maybe.

Well MTL now has a Chessie Safety Caboose Runner Pack: http://www.blwnscale.com/mt-special-run-trainsets.htm#cs

I was safe until I seen these last night.  12 different schemes, 4 cars per set, means 3 sets.  Did Atlas do all 12 schemes ?  I have one, can't remember which color it is though.

Here is another load for the ITTX flatcar.



While these are a little larger than the mail trucks from NZT Products, I am sure David's models would look just as nice.

Those are "collection" trucks, we used to have the trucks like DKS made and had the collections done on regular routes, but not wasn't too much of a good idea as guys would have to leave their routes to go to the collection boxes to get that mail.

Now there are dedicated collection routes, using the larger trucks that go around to all the blue boxes and businesses that ship lots of mail to collect.  I'd be down for a few of these too.

Anyone know an ETA for the sexy, sexy SW1500s?
