Guess what day it is ...!

... No, not Hump Day.  But it is PD3000 Day!  Or it will be shortly.  Picked up a surprise goodie box at the post office today along with other ESM mail, and it contained these beautiful gems:





ESM donated artwork to Trainworx for some of the cars since Pat announced first, so some production run samples are in hand.  These were snapped with the cell phone, but they still give a good perspective of the model.  Click on the photos for big pics.  Look for the cars to start appearing at retail within the next few days.

UPDATE:  I see Mike posted that the cars are available at MBK.  I'd grab them quickly while you can.

Wow!  Definitely in for the CR and a couple of others...

To think, I thought it was only Saturday. Looks great!

The cars look excellent.  I saw these on MBK's website this morning when I got home from work.  I have three PC and three CR reserved at BLW, so hopefully I will get them next week.  The Conrail cars are going to need some work for me to run them.  CR AL is not a scale code that was used by Conrail, so that is first to be changed (most likely should be CR BL for Hollidaysburg).  Next is backdating the reweigh date to fit my 7/84 era, but that can only be done on certain car numbers.  There are photos of all of the Conrail cars on the CRHS web site (except CR 898083), so that will be my guide.  I am interested to see is if TW kept the PC style numbers on 898061 and 898087 since the prototype kept them when they were reweighed by Conrail.  I wonder if TW worked with Spring Mills Depot who is making these in HO.  Thanks.

Just ordered a PC from MBK  will get a few more PC, these will go well with my ESM Flexi-Flos.

These look amazing, just wish the build/rebuild dates were more specific...

Mr. Bussey, your PM box is full, otherwise I could send you a better "thank you" than a quick one here for your help with the Microscale NH decals. Thanks again.

Thanks for the head's-up on the PM mailbox, all cleared out.
