Posted by Joe from MT on Trainboard:
Hello,
We are making good progress on the Heavyweights as we speak. The four body styles will be a 60' usra standard RPO, a 12-1 and 10-1-2 sleeper and a Chair Car. We are also doing all new trucks with improved sideframes. I am checking on what I can say about release dates and what will come first...Generally the plan is to do all 4 about the same time so within a few months you can get all the cars you need. Road names and configurations to follow.
Cheers

Interesting selection of cars; the 12-1 is unfortunately an obvious choice (same car as Riversossi) and the chair car is fairly obvious too. I'm pleased to see a 10-1-2 as it can easily become a few other things; I'm not wild about the 60' USRA RPO but that's my road bias, not a comment on the selection per say.
Nice of Joe to provide the update.
