Well I just realized that Im digging ttx rolling stock from the blma 89' flats to the exr 50' Hy-Cubes. Not to mention that gorgeous yellow., How does a TTX fan model his favorite rolling stock without going broke. I forgot to mention I have a set of MDC ttx rbox cars too.

Wow thats some nice stuff tehachapifan, I wish I would have got my hands on some of the BLMA spine cars. Maybe Craig will hear my pleas and re-run them lol. I hear you about the logo though bummer.

The BLMA spines turn up on that certain online auction site with some regularity and I think there's some on there right now (not mine).

While I'm not into TTX intermodal I do like the TTX boxcars and gons.

I don't even own any intermodal cars.. :o

My problem was I missed the TTX/Railgon gons when Exactrail released them.  I swear, ER only ran 24 of each number...  :x 

Part of my demise I guess...I found some in that other scale though. :oops:

Well to be honest I have thought about throwing the towel in and return to HO for several reasons but,there's a lot of goodies on the way that I like and I'm not quite happy with the limited operation I would have in HO..

I'm going to end up being one of those dual hatters. The final straw was a recent trolling trip through the vehicle section at Kleins and I found a truck for the company I currently work for...  :o

Brian, so you're the guy who can't stock the BX here ;)

Back to the thread, I got all the RTTX flats, and about 45 or so of the MT flats.  Should have a decent length train or 2 when all said and done

I can neither confirm or deny that accusation.    :scared:  I'm working for the Exchange Europe HQ's, but most of the stock is controlled out of the Dallas Headquarters.  They are the true puzzle palace....

That will be a huge train when it makes it to the rails.  Wow.

Hoping so...but I need to get some of the others in the local Ntrak group to agree we need to start over and rebuild our modules.  Once that happens, it should be able to run great.

So you're at Rammstein?
