A quick BLMA TopGon preview... TEST SHOT PICS!

[Mark5]

I'm getting some for my way out of my era NS train ....

Are those the new Atlas 100T underslung RB trucks?

That is a mighty fine model. The pad printing is especially impressive--must have been a real PITA to get the brake shoe stencil on the frame...

I just could not resist any longer, 24 on order from Chulvis!

To be honest i can not really justify modelling NS without them!!

Craig,
I'm impressed! If I was an NS guy, I'd have 'em! (Maybe just one or two as Conrail would occasionally get them mixed in with a merchandise train for some reason). Might I offer one suggestion? There is a TopGon floating around with a special "25,000th rebuild" stencil. Maybe once the first run sells out, you could offer that one as a special run. (Now that the tooling is done, paint isn't that expensive...)

Here's a shot...


Great looking car though!

This says there are special cars for 10000, 15000, 20000, and 25000.

Craig, I know you pride yourself on authenticity... but please don't include the "Red Weenie" tag if you do the 25,000th car..... hehe

Thanks guys!

If you look closely, that commemorative car has a smooth tub; it's a different style than the model we're releasing.  If any of the special paint scheme cars fit our design, we'll definitely consider it, red weenies and all!       ;D

Just
what model railroading needs.  More weenies...

[rswinnerton]

Maybe make the red weenie an option. "For your red weenie decal, write to...". Or, maybe make a limited run of say, 200 red weenie cars in each scale.

Just a thought.
