I believe this is good news. I've noticed a definite negative change in the auto racks since the change to Intermountain. I have confidence in Fox Valley to commit to quality.

Cool! I hope they bring back the hopper gates as a separate part like Red Caboose had.

I was wondering where the white P&W autorack was that I reserved a long while ago. Maybe Intermountain just doesn't want to deal with these?

I think that's great news. Especially if they run the GM&O coil cars again, not to mention the 40' flat cars.


Hmm... funny that Red
Caboose doesn't make
red cabooses...

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.

Awesome would like to see more coil cars and the 4700 fmc covered hoppers in WP and BN as I have just discovered how good the fmc models are as I found a few on ebay recently. 8) Also need more of the beer cars.

Great news!
Also, and I might have misremembered it, but didn't Red Caboose acquire Precision Masters tooling before they went out of business? They had some badly decorated ice reefers that could be done right I could use....

Lets hope they watch the ride height, which they did not do very well on their outside post boxcar models...
