Will the Clinton car have weed enclosed in boxcar? Is there a demand for any of these runs? I can see State/province cars but are there people out there buying up the battleship collection? and now presidents? How about something more worthy like beer companies? Or better yet, more than 1 road number for modern boxcars?!! I like their cars but they have the collector mentality and not the true running hobbyist. I/M knows it and makes hoppers avail in 6 and 12 road numbers. They even came out with a number of towns available on the ALberta Take a Break grain hoppers. Still one p^ssed of muffin but this mornings dispute. I fired off an email with the chain of events as far as my payment,transaction ID,etc Said to check their records to resolve this matter at the earliest convenience. Included my ph number too. X-( Other than a fave seller in Michigan and Las Vegas I think I am gonna start avoiding some of these sellers that ship internationally. I'm being dramatic right now but still ticked off.

Just when I thought this month was a write off for new MTL releases, tuned out to be a few cars I will order. 2 scale test cars, Southern car with paper roll that is cool looking and an Illinois Central cyl hopper. I should have just built a classification yard (for a layout) to show off and hold every car.

I just had a look at the new releases and decided the IC hopper will be added to the fleet, nearly considered the two gondolas as well but I already have 40 so I think that is probably enough, the Southern car caught my eye too, but I'm just working on the wheet harvest for now. ]:)
