September looks like a very good month. The ghost Conrail centerflow is a goad complement to the CR/EL ghost release from four years ago.

Nice CN weathered car.  I guess this will be $100 in my hands.  Ugh.

OMG, so much Conrail and Penn Central hotness.

No. I told myself I'd stick with just Pennsy this time. No more era creep.

"But mommmmmm!"

But Dave!

Patched Penn Central Berwind hopper!

Nothing I can use.

This is some GOOOOD *****.

I was just saying to @GonzoCRFan "Do I need more 65' Conrail mill gons? No. Am I going to get more 65' Conrail mill gons? You betcha."

I'm starting to think that a train of my fleet of these with big loads, along with some idler flats, would make for a cool "NTRAK Layout Train".

Thanks MTL!

I'm surprised they scheduled two Conrail Gons on the same month as the start of the Conrail family series,
and as the same month as the release of the pre-ordered Penn Central MOW sets.

Am I buying all of it?... Probably.. yes..

Trigger the SPF overdoses.

Those ex-Rock covered hoppers may find a home...

I am definitely getting the Grain Train 4-pack.  However, one of the road numbers appears to be technically the same as one used in a previous release of the 4-pack. An earlier 4-pack had these cars with their original Blue Mountain Railroad (BLMR) reporting marks, and the 4-pack I have included BLMR 1008, BLMR 1015, BLMR 1019 and BLMR 1022.  The original Blue Mountain Railroad reporting marks were patched over with the Columbia Basin Railroad (CBRW) reporting marks.  I compiled the table below from various online sources about five years ago, so I don't know who should get the credit for it.



As shown in the table, all of the cars had the CRBW reporting marks by the end of 2004, and probably a lot earlier than that.  I have been hoping to find or make decals to patch the four cars I currently have with the BLMR reporting marks to CBRW reporting marks for my 2006 modeling era.  Since one of the cars in this new release will be CRBW 1015, it will complicate my attempt to patch BLMR 1015.   

So Joe, can another road number that doesn't duplicate a road number that Micro-Trains has already released for the Grain Trains covered hoppers be used in place of CRBW 1015!

I'll run this by creative services...back shortly.
