Trainworx 86' Thrall Hi Cube Box Car

Actually, I do work in perspective sometimes (and yes, it is simply a press of a button).  Especially helpful to see if a part is sized correctly...

I don't really consider viewing the part the same as working on the part.  But that could just be me.

I don't really consider adding textures to a part work either... but that's just me

Does it count as work when I'm viewing an assembly of 1200+ parts and adjusting dimensions in perspective?

You're not special and your dog still doesn't love you.

I wouldn't expect you to.

Just becuase I didn't call you after last night doesn't mean you have to get all PMS on me...

Assume I'll need atleast 8 or 10 86' hi cubes I was hoping someone would produce them soon
the concors are just too short. Hopefully will get some 8 door versions to.

Just found this over on the Atlas Board.  More choices for these cars:
More 86' Boxcars are on the way!. Bluford Shops is another company that has been looking at this car as their first new tooling. I just got info that they are doing the Pullman Standrd cars in both Double and Quad Door. The cars are injection molded plastic with etched metal details and are ready to run. Delivery is expected in late Summer - early Fall. Road names and other info will come in about a week. For those of you not familiar with Bluford Shops, the company was launched last year and is headed by former DeLuxe Innovations managers Steve Rodgers and Craig Ross.

Ok, we've got 86' cars coming... fills a big gap.

Now bring on the modern LPG tankers and NSC 50 boxcars... and a Kato SD75I.

So that's what WHCX stands for... seen a few of those myself. I wonder what they carry  ???

I've seen one of the HCSX cars with the Seaboard System SS logo (name painted out). Been a while since I've seen a SBD car around here, even if it's a hatchet job. Can't recall any that weren't in the CSX blue, either.

Are the ex-SBD cars Thralls ?

The links show some of the HCSX and WHCX cars. Most of the HCSX cars look to be ex CSX, but I could not find a shot of the ex. SBD car I saw.

N&W:
Was checking the Classic Motor Books "Penn Central" last everning looking for some info.  Came across a color photo taken near Detriot of an EMD switcher pulling a N&W 86' car.  Not sure of the manufacturer of this car.

Thanks Bob! Seems most of the color pix of N&W 86 footers I have are Thralls in blue. The 1st N&W ones were in "brown" with roofwalks!

I think this (brown) is a PS:

I think the "Blues" started in 1966 ...

Greeneville... not a P-S.
