New BLMA Product Releases, Announcements, and VIDEOS!

[Robbman]

For us non-NS guys, any idea when you'll be set to announce another freight car?  The TopGon's look great, but "they're not from around here".

While the TopGon®s are primarily an eastern car (they're seen on more than just NS), SP/UP had at least two trains that usually had them... one to Utah and one to SoCal.

Watching videos takes away from modeling time.

So does posting on discussion forums...  But that's not stopping you...    Tongue  Wink

Craig,

Check the time of my post. I'm rarely modeling so close to midnight.

Rob, my statement still stands,  but I appreciate the qualification.  I am excited about the cars, don't get me wrong.  I look at them as similar to what the coalveyors meant for me, and lemme tell ya that was a good day when I saw the Atlas announcement and better day when I held the model in my hand.  I'm sure the "eastern" modelers and UP/SP guys are chompin' to get their hands on the TopGon®s.

I prefer live action at that hour, and Craig's definitely not my type.

Robbman, got any further information on when they ran on the SP/UP - timeframes and routes? Were they a full/half trainset or intermixed with DRGW hoppers?

Thanks
