No biggy. We have the BLMA 4000s coming!

Yeah!!! Hopefully future releases will include C&O and N&W. L&N used them to haul Coke Breeze, but I think they had trough hatches though.

Ditto I believe on LV regarding the trough hatches.  I'm thinking of picking up a spare BLMA car when they are released and using MTL centerflow parts to convert it.


I thought ATSF had trogh hatches too? Maybe just not all trough hatches?

L&N, LV, and TLDX are the three roads/schemes that only had trough hatch cars.  The TLDX cars were leased to LV up to 74, at which time they and the 10 LV cars were disposed of.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Robb, glad you confirmed that.  It means a TLDX/LV kitbash is indeed practical to do.   That's where I can justify a couple more along with the "oddball" (for me) ACL that I'll be picking up.
