I tried PMing Shipsure, but I would be willing to bet their office is closed with the world situation. But I'm super excited for the release of the TBOXs which hopefully will hit the streets soon. Anybody have any inside information?

According to their website, they have been able to remain open by following the social distancing guidelines, making changes to maintain distances and such.  The 60s still show a Spring 2020 release date

I'm very eagerly awaiting these. It's been a looooooong year since they were announced.

I’d love to split a pack of each of the TTX schemes. Joe, any idea when single cars will be released?

not sure, but I suspect shortly after the multi packs are.

Still waiting for my LHS to call me that mine came in.  Were the CSX Tie loaders sent out as well this month ?

They look even better in person.
Quick review, this are massive cars  they ride nice and low on the rails and look great. On par with BLMA/Atlas cars and ST hopper
My only complain is I don't like the new metal wheels since they feel like they do not roll as nice as BLMA or Tangent wheels so I change mine to Tangent wheels
Great job and thank you MT now please make more.
Which ever side of the track I am on is the right side.

The metal wheels on mine seem a lot better than their first metals wheels. I hope MT releases them in bulk.
The whole lack of aftermarket metal wheels is mind boggling.

Since I couldn’t remember preordering a set of tbox’s I grabbed some from the hobby shop in Green Bay by the in-laws. It shipped today.

Had me worried, so I went back to my email to make sure I ordered this set  and not the more modern TTX paint
