This is the first I've heard about FVM MILW baggage cars. Are they in the offing or is FVM just playing around with us?

Not playing around  :-X

The official announcement will be at the Sacramento show next week.

Any additional updates and/or info on new products?  (Trainboard is still down and the thread about the convention on another board is about to be locked.)

I just saw this ...  probably a failed upgrade .. but that's why you always make backups before you do that kind of stuff and have a backout plan



As far as the thread on Atlas -

Any shots of the model contest yet?

Dropped by the Atlas Forum to see if there was anything posted of interest there.   6 pages of Mellow Mike and others tossing cow pies back and forth and nary a report on what's going on.  I think you need to jump over there John and whip a little moderation on them  ;D

Has anyone got any shots of the MEC/BAR pulp racks that N scale Kits is doing? Apparently they had them on display along with their F39 flat.

I didn't get photos of Peter's stuff before the show packed up.  Didn't see the pulp racks but the F39 looked fantastic.

For as long as he's been talking about the F39, I just presumed it was vaporware. Is he actually going to release soon?

On that note, anyone ever seen one of his Clejan flats or the auto transport trailers in person or if there's been any movement on the Flexi-Van car he's also been touting forever?
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

I emailed him in March about the Flexi-Vans. His reply:

"Frank

 

We have completed the patterns for the FlexiVan.

 

We are now sourcing the containers for the Van containers, as these are very specific to the FlexiVan and there are no similar containers available at the moment. The Vans are also patterned,  and are awaiting a response from a manufacturer. We still hope to launch the FlexiVan in the Fall.

 

Thanks for your interest. We will let you know when they are close to release.

 

Best wishes

 

Peter

As with any manufacturer these day, delays happen. At least some sign of progress.

Just got home from there.  Here are a few pics, most which have already been posted.  Had a great time and got to meet several people here for the first time. 

















Anyone guess what this is.  ED, don't spill the beans.



Went to Cove a couple times, Harris Tower and a great time with the Conrail gang at Sherman Creek Bridge.  I'll post some of those later.  Also went to PA Railroad Museum which wasn't open and besides that it was Thomas weekend so I took a bunch of photos and got outta there.  Finished up at my old haunts at St Denis before going home.  Great Time.

I see Tom is thinking outside the box! Wonder how many people knew what it is, and what to do with it.

I took a pic of it on the screen, but google on my phone couldn't figure out what it was. How do you scan it?

Well aparently I just had to reply to this topic and try again. It worked.
