Time to pound Exactrail again...

[unittrain]

I just sent him an e-mail requesting a 60's-70's era 100 ton gondola and also mentioned that the roadnames would be endless and how they could even tool up some hoods for steel service which would yield many roadnames.

Shouldn't have to go far .. I think Exactrail has a rep registered here ..

Who knows, maybe they're working on a new Jewel Case???

Hey now, that's uncalled for... we're getting the new coupler draft box 

That gon looks nice. DT&I --> CN. I'd be in. Nice patches on the CR one.

[asarge]

I'm in for anything DT&I, if they decide to release it.

Got a response to my e-mail from Blaine @ Exactrail here it is he says they have alot in development but not necessarily gondolas.

Re: N scale gondola request 
 

Thank you for your interest in ExactRail, and thank you for contacting me with your suggestion.  Without speaking directly to a 1960/1970's era gondolas, I can say that we have a lot in development.  I am quite enthusiastic about forging new ground in N-scale.  It is my view that ExactRail's all-new scale draft box is a quantum step in forward for the detail of N-scale models, and the dimensions of the draft box approaches the scale dimensions better than any other N-scale draft box with which I am aware.  This is the first of such improvements to our N-scale line.

I appreciate having had you contact me.

Best regards,

Blaine

Nice but way too modern for my roads...

But you might get a prototypical 50' waffle boxcar out of the deal, which isn't a bad trade-off no?

I'm jonesin' for these in N scale:

CN, MDW, early ABOX... nice.

Above is my first choice, but the waffle would be nice, too. Still see the SOU waffles in Ajax, ON., on a weekly basis delivering southern pine to a local industry.

I still find it nutts we do not have an accurate 50' Waffle or Berwick box.

For ER's sake, I hope they are holding back some wicked awesomness

[lock4244]

If it's a DCC ready jewel box, I'll puke 

[Robbman]

One should ask Blaine if he knows the dimensions of a scale draft gear first... and what the dimensions of their new box is, as well as that of other boxes on the market.

In the Jan/Feb issue of N Railroading they have an ad announcing a TTX Trinity 50' Hycube and more 4427's. It was a quick look but they are doing CNW, B&O and LV an another 1 or two I can't remember.

[daniel_leavitt2000]

Awesome.

More grain cars.

Just what N scale needed.

MORE GRAIN CARS.

Can we please have MORE GRAIN CARS?

I don't think we have ENOUGH GRAIN CARS.

Maybe we could get every model RR company to produce several types of GRAIN CARS.

Maybe then we would have ENOUGH GRAIN CARS.

[wcfn100]

I need more grain cars.

GATC 4500's if anyone is listening.

You can never have enough Grain Hoppers!!!!!!
