Greetings N Scalers,

We are well into the new year and our new product production is moving forward. We will have more exciting news in the coming months. We are diligently working with the production managers to deliver the 17 posts well car as soon as possible. Please note this production issue fully allocated to pre-orders, direct dealers, and distributors.

The Allegheny Midland (535087) is our Visionary Series VS container release this month and quantities are limited. The VS releases are available directly from www.jtcmodeltrains.com and any dealer or distributor that wants to carry this product line. Dealers and distributors may purchase upon request only. If you want your supplier to carry any VS products, ask them to contact me at stan@jtcmodeltrains.com and I will be happy to work with them. We also have a select group of individuals that receive an email regarding the VS specifically and exclusive special offers. If you want to be included in this special email, please let me know and I will add you to the email.

Our 8-55-8 container series has required the most prototype tooling that is scheme specific. Look for some highly anticipated schemes on a regular basis and forthcoming in the next few months.  Below are this month's New Schemes, with specific Tooling;

I really like the patched and faded containers, and usually buy them.
Last night I had a dream (nightmare?) that you were releasing "Trainpacks", which were packs of containers with enough containers for a whole train. The first release was Pacer and had a total of 200 53' containers, including some with faded paint. The nightmare part was the cost of so many containers in one purchase! 😁

LOL, You may be a bit ahead of your time/ or our time :) We are looking at multi-packs for certain schemes, due to request, that would have a prototypical mixture and a volume discount. We're pinging our distribution channels for interest.  In the meantime, we have some multi scheme packs in production now, in 2-packs, for an easy way to add even more variety - They will be announced this Summer. 'Trainpacks' would go great with articulated car-sets! Yes?

This is why I’m so glad I never caught the intermodal bug. My branchline modeling won’t encounter any.

Did I hear you say "articulated car sets?" From @JaxTerminal? That would be amazing.

Articulated car sets? Yes!! Multipacks of containers would be great, too.
I have all the rolling stock I'll ever need, but I still buy containers and well cars. You can never have too many containers.

Yes!  Really looking forward to articulated NSC well sets and 6-packs of 53' containers* to go with them.  :lol:

*The obvious candidate schemes for 6-packs are: JB Hunt, UPS, EMP, Hub, Schneider.

No, no no. 7 pack please. Three 53' footers. Your roads are excellent choices. Then two 40's, and two 20's. Why let the 53 footers have all the fun  :D

This. I am amazed at how monolithic BNSF domestic stack trains are. Took the time to actually count containers (rivet counting of a sort, I suppose) on a BNSF train through Flagstaff a while back. Out of 228 total containers, 183 were JB Hunt.
