that place is still going  :?

If you check out the number of posts, it's clearly an HO hangout.

Looks like they're doing an HO special run for Trainfest.

Isn't this the same prototype as Atlas Evans box?

There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

It's based on the same prototype that both Atlas and Athearn (ex-Details West) have already offered in HO.

From the pictures, it's hard to tell if the 50' in the description is a typo or if it has the same dimensional errors as the old Details West model...

 :)
  the Original Evans double plug door cars had bodies supplied by ACF,
  were 50'6" and had different sized plug doors on the sides,they were
  offset also.
  the 1st cars actually built by Evans or Sieco had Pullman ends and roofs,
  centered same size plug doors,not as common as the late cars.
  the late cars are the version produced by Atlas.
  too many errors in the HO DW cars,so wont go into them.

I wish them all the best. N scale and model railroading in general can always use a new good company or two.

The website could use some tweaking ...

But that said, they say in their blog:

Through 2016, we plan to unveil several all-new products including:

HO Scale Trains

     Two locomotives
     Five freight cars
     Two vehicles

 N Scale Trains

     Two locomotives
     Two freight cars
     Two vehicles

Should be entertaining!

At least one of the principals is an ex-Athearn employee, so they definitely have experience.  Looking forward to seeing what comes of it.

I'm surprised the speculating has not started as to what those locos, freight cars, and vehicles will be.
