They also announced a peaked roof variant this month. Love those schemes...

Between these and the covered hoppers, I see some wallet draining in my future.

Ok, need help with SP paint schemes. Which are good for 1978? 1985?

The Hydracushion scheme is good for both.

The other scheme is too late judging from the dimensional data, which has no "CAPY" - I think that started in the late 1980s.

Decisions, decisions. Of course the more box cars, the happier I am. Just have to commit to schemes...

Definitely tempting, but I have so many SP cars as it is ...

Maybe the Rio Grande - anyone know what these were mainly used for in the 70s?

Crap what a wallet killer.  Hope these will be delayed long enough for my 2018 budget.   :trollface: :D

"Gen/Asgn Serv" thanks!

Lumber off WP/SP would be a good bet...  :)

Well I put in a pre-order of the SP designated paper loading version to push the project forward. 
No body mount couplers mentioned at this time... so wondering what their plan is to represent the extended draft design for us??
Can't have too many Espee cars here.    :D
