Model Railroading > New HO Freight Car announcement from Moloco

Just fresh off the wire.  Moloco announces a HO Scale PC&F 50' RBL with 9' 0" plug door soon to be available.
This car is good for at least SP B-70-9 and SSW B-70-5/5R Boxcars, with additional door and detail variations to follow.

Cheers,
Harry

Mark, I couldn't agree more.

When I look at my Rio Grande Odyssy DVD and the RIo Gande in Color books, it's evident that these SP and SSW box cars were very common across the D&RGW system in the 1960's and 1970.s.  While I used to be interested in the late 1980's and early 1990's, I'm finding I prefer the caboose era of the 1970's most of all.  Moloco and Tangent are ever more becoming my "go to" manufactureres of HO rolling stock, along with ExactRail and Atlas.

Is there any indication when those will be in-stock?

Cheers, Jim Fitch

Those cars are expected next year some time.

oloco web site has a sale this month.  Anyone ever order from them? Who can you purchase Moloco models from? 
Thanks Harry

I just ordered my first car direct, and got a shipping notification with tracking number the next day.  

Yes, mentioned the sale in my first post and you can order direct.  Last year Moloco box cars were also being sold via Spring Creek Hobbies in Nebraska - I ordered a Moloco car from them at that time - the D&RGW single stripe yellow/silver car.  Im not sure if they are still a Moloco outlet or not. 

Moloco since last fall has a site in the US now that allows you to order from them and not have to ship from Canada, which was much more costly and made it overly costly to order a few models.  Shipping is free with 6 or more, but at the regular prices that was out of my budget to order $300 (6 cars) to get free shipping. 

The sale plus US warehouse definitely made it much more affordable so I put in an order for a couple cars during the May sale. 

Cheers, Jim Fitch

Now I won't have to scratch/bash all those MDC 50-foot plug-door boxcars I've been picking up at swap meets for my Espee/SSW boxcar fleet...........Thanks Moloco!!  Creere, Fergie

Next year was 2017 when this topic was last active.  I'm told they are still on-the-way but may be 2020 now, fingers crossed.

My last order from  Moloco (last week) took three days to make it from North Carolina to Oregon.
I appreciate the way Moloco and Tangent and a very few others manage to go about their business with so little drama, and a minimum of email ads.  Better product and less hubris.

Apologies WAF for necroing the topic.  The Plate B SP/SSW PC&F RBL's announced in 2016 appear to have been pushed off in favor of the other box cars produced since then, but from what I understand, they are still planned..

But to freshing things up a but, FYI, Nick sent out an email announcement recently announcing plans to do a series of box cars - I've essentially copied the content of the email into a topic linked below.

The list of planned box cars is impressive and ups the the ante for Moloco, but are still months away.  I appreciate the heads up in advance so I can budget for them as it's going to hurt my wallet!

Cheers, Jim
