Gotta love the day-glow orange tires, mud flaps, landing gear, and flatcar deck on that Botchmann trailer. The tradition of crap continues....

So, Where are those 3 "NEW" Athearn loco's?

In fairness, with the absence of decoration on that trailer, and the schemes announced for both trailer and flat, that's likely just a development sample.

Let's save our excitement for the newly revamped HO scale Bachmann F7!! Wooooo!!! =)
<Sarcasm!!>

BLMA is doing a nice signal bridge. Looking forward to its arrival!!!!

Like tracktime said, I would certainly wait to see a painted sample before making any judgements.

Actually I was thinking the Bachmann trailer looked like a real nice model myself. Granted it's too old for my modeling, but if you model Intermodal between 1960 and 1970, that could be a real boon. Too bad they didn't make a all new flatcar for it!

I spoke with Lee Riley from Bachmann. The 35' Trailer is based on a Strick prototype. The flat car deck is based on a Western Maryland prototype. The orange color is due to it being a test shot. This example shown at the NMRA Show is an pre-production sample only.

Who is the gentleman in the WRP booth?


Uncle Joe

ExactRail announced a Trenton Works 67'-11" Bulkhead Flat Car at today's NMRA Show. Looks like both N- and HO-scale examples will be offered. The yellow pre-production model shown is HO-scale. No info on delivery date, pricing, roadnames. Will check.

Damn shame Kato has abandoned HO, only giving us new paint schemes on old product.

If they're going to do that, at least do something people will buy, like the ATSF pre-'72 paint scheme on SD-45s!
