I have a few waiting at the shop, and a few more on the way.  Looks great.   Now if we could get the IMRC 3281 to market

My thoughts exactly!

some ai generated cement!

Too modern for me but they do look outstanding.

Still waiting for my order to cross the border, but these do look great.   Do they roll reasonably well?  The 5660s were challenged in this regard.  Otherwise outstanding.

I have no interest in these (too new), but are those couplers MTL clones instead of accumates?  When was the last time Atlas did that?  Ride height looks good to my eye.

Good catch Jeff. The trip pin on Accumates does not extend all the way through the coupler.  Interesting.

I imagine there is some BLMA DNA in these cars.

no rolling issues...

Looks to me like the couplers have the MTL Clone "droop"

I went to add resistors to the wheelsets of the two got and noticed two things. They are NOT BLMA wheels, they measure somewhere around 0.57" in axle length, and BOTH sides are insulated. Lots of added detail parts, they look fantastic, handle with care!

Wow, yeah, they look fantastic!
