Exactrail 5277 Waffles Return

[ljudice]

Including NS Claytor Scheme.... and it looks like the roof is fixed...

They also look redder, less brownish.  Which I like.   Ordered a few - will see....

Was hoping for more CSX waffles.

Was hoping for more CSX waffles.   

I was hoping for more NS with conspicuity stripes and the patched out cars - or maybe the MOW gray.

CSX would be nice too, hopefully these will be run more often.

They also need a rerun of the bulkhead flat and the 65' gon in shortline schemes.

Hopefully some bulkhead flats soon.

I could use a couple of the flats.  Modeling 1974, the MT bulkhead flats are fine for my BN cars, as they stuck with the 56' 8" IL for the lumber industry.  But I would like a couple Trailer Train cars, and they were buying longer cars in  the late 60s.

Pretty sure the ExactRail bulks are 1980+

I keep hoping Scale Trains will roll these in 1:160: https://www.scaletrains.com/ho-scale/ho-scale-freight-cars/rivet-counter-ho-scale-bsc-f68ah-bulkhead-flat-car.html

These are examples of the very, very few models that make me wish I hadn’t backdated. Oh well look at all the money I’ll be saving.

Mark5:  You're right, the Exactrail cars are too modern.  But were there that many obvious differences between the early 70s versions and the 1980s cars?  If it's just lettering and some small details, I can live with that.  Microscale has the decals for the earlier versions.

I'm in for a few in the as delivered scheme. I'm glad to see that Exactrail hasn't abandoned us N scalers.

Pretty sure the Exactrail bulkheads are 2000+.

I too would love to see the Scaletrains in N.

The prototype I believe was based on a 2000+ model. It wouldn't take much to backdate though.
