2016 NSE Convention in Overland Park (Kansas City) KS — news

[cjm413]

Those GP60's look sexy  and hints of whats to come from the former Red Caboose tooling! cant wait to see updated X29's

Is there a Kato Presence at the convention? anything new, perhaps news on the TA?

It looks like they added body-mounted couplers to the ex-Precision Masters Ortner RD hopper, possibly the Trainworx part?

I'm on my phone so it's hard to tell, but are those solid stirrups on the BLI stock car?

Yes, solid.  Both versions of the car (with/without sound) will be hitting the market within the next week or so.  The non-sound car is supposed to be conventional with see-through slats (and hopefully see-through stirrups).  Unfortunately there were no samples on display.  We will see what arrives in a few days.

Oh, it's OK, Otto. I had the same feelings about the all the angst over the K-4 and M-1, but kept it to myself. As much as you guys try, we can't be all Pennsy all the time, Adam.

Now that's a low blow! Lol
How dare you call me out on all this pennsy nonsense! Actually I did introduce myself to other trw members as the outspoken anti spf guy. They instantly knew who I was. Marc starmanns and I had a very funny conversation about it all though. It was great meeting everyone though!

The solids stirrups don't actually detract that much given the other interesting decisions made on the tooling.

Didn't some other railroads use the same Flex-Van equipment the NYC did? Like MILW?

Richmond Controls with some really really really friggin small LEDs.

Probably just standard SMD 0402 LEDs (0.020" x 0.040"). Or did they get their hands on some 0201 (0.020" x 0'010") size LEDs?
