Exactrail hinting about new models

Got an email from ER announcing a few things, including a delay of the bulkhead flat, and it ends with mention of three all new cars for 2013. No mention of scale specifically, but:

"As far as future projects are concerned, I am pleased to mention that we have finished the engineering on three all-new models, and they are already being fed into our tooling department. As a hint, these particular projects will fill a needed gap for 1970’s to present era unit train modelers—and for us, they will be some of the most interesting announcements of 2013."

Any one care to wager a guess? I'm going with tanktrain.

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

They like to play games.  Trainworx, ESM, and FVM are kicking ER's butt in terms of getting my dollar even though ER's sitting on one of my favorite cars, the P-S 4427.  If they'd release more, I'd care more.  I'd add BLMA to the win list but the brown flats have become vapor.  Pffft.

My three arrived and are awful... ly awesome. Seriously they really are sweet and can't wait for the Trailer Train yellow. A word of caution though - if you think the circus ramps can be moved up and down like the MTL flats, they don't. If you want to learn like I did, make sure you have some glue  :facepalm:

Whatta ya want? The dates came and went; isn't that vapor?  If they're on the street (they're not @ Kleins, my bellweather for product), then I'll retract my statement, but I'm not a freakin' mind reader.

If you're talking about the brown Trailer-Train 89' F89j's, they came and went.

Man, pie on my face.  I have all 6 of them.  I was hankering for the Trainworx cars.  My bad, and apologies to BLMA.  I'm gonna go hide in a corner now.   :-X  I have got to catch up on my sleep...

Manufacturing issues on the TrainWorx version.  The pilot samples keep arriving with some feature not to spec.  They won't be released until they are correct, which is a good thing.  They look sweet though.
