That rumor came my way yesterday. Does anyone know more?

It's on the Milwaukee .io site, the Accurail owner was asking some questions and has some inventory to figure out. Interesting situation in many ways, I could do with a few more ribsides either way.

George who was the owner passed away last year so it is someone representing the estate in charge now.

One possible problem for modelers is the later RSC cars had stand off ladders and grabs. Since Accurail seems to be moving to assembled cars I wonder if they will modify the molds to mold in grabs and ladders to reduce assembly costs?

Here's hoping for the best all around.

Rumor is correct, but no schedule of production or other details.
