On a lighter note, I'm in for one of the WFE cars.

Here one of our references.  Also, I'm really distressed that Mike posted a PM to make his point.  Just a reminder, PM stands for Personal Message.

I agree .. that's not good forum etiquette .. Joe,  thanks for the picture

Thanks for the picture Joe.  I sometimes forget about those early builders photos.  This could explain the Aluminum cars as well and why they don't have the Express trucks that appear in later pictures.

One thing should be said before anyone picks a side, builders photos can sometimes be a mixed blessing.  It just shows what the car was painted like at some point before it left the factory, that's all.

Although I don't think 100% correct, I do think the Potash cars will be a very popular release this month

I believe we have another shot in a consist and If I have time will look for it.   I made the point this morning that regardless, going forward on reprints, if we can update the car art so it is more prototypical, we need to do it.  I personally think the spirit of the Reprints is a concept that needs to be re-visited and will work to correct what I can going forward.

While Shipsure is here, what is the load on the BN flatcar?
The angle is to low, and there's no description.
Looks like a big gingerbread thing!

My poor wallet! I want the UTLX set and the WP PFEs. Oh wait, they're Z scale, dagnab it. I'd REALLY like the UTLX 8-pack in N SCALE!

Thought the same thing.

No remarks on the link and pin couplers???  Those are kind of cool.

[DrifterNL]

Shouldn't the CP Rail runner pack be National Steel Car covered hoppers in stead of the modeled ACF covered hoppers?

MTL will sometimes use the prototype car description and other times the model.

Aluminum cars had more side panels, why worry about the trucks? 

I don't understand what side there is to pick.  MTL's photo is a Pressed Steel Car... not a Pullman Standard PS-1.  MTL should throw out the photo if it's confusing them.

Give them some credit ,they got the center flo style right and the correct number of bays.
