One of the most common 89' flats from the '60s to today.
Great! I was hoping it would fit my era. Thanks James.

I'm in, but what road names?  I see CB&Q (!), NYC (?) and N&W.  How about the NP or CRIP?

Now about the F850...


Rasputen can solve your Jones for that.

So what would the build dates/era be for the underlying flat cars? In the last few years, we've seen quite a few new flats...always good to have variety.

I remember the post of a new ESM autorack (I think it might have been a kit?). Any updates on that Bryan?

There will be an update on that project in the next ESM Newsletter.

Been waiting for Athearn to announce these for a while. ESM will be offering multiple variations of etched stainless steel anti-vandal panels for this model.

Nice!. Considering how the railroads and auto-industry did things with the pool service agreement, all roadnames could end up anywhere.

I'm still waiting to see more of how you deal with the frame situation.  Not to apply any pressure...

Those IMRC SD40-2s look REALLY, REALLY good.
There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

I think the shell looks good,but something seems "off" about the trucks/frame area...

I disagree, but I'm not going to start in on why. They're still preproduction models.
