We got our standing order from MT in Friday, and all but one of the above mentioned cars had varying degrees of warped bodies. The floor and one end are deformed. If you mail-order, it might be worthwhile to call and check your "pushers" stock on these cars. I really doubt many of these passed QC (our's may be "ultra-collectable"!), but I wanted to pass this along to the group. Everybody has some defects, but there may have been a "problem" with these. (I think 90% could be fixed with some hot water or a hair-dryer. Resin kit builders know all about that, but I'd rather not have to fix a new fairly exspensive car.) ???

Anyone ever hear if Red Caboose will still do those bulkhead cars or is our best hope for Atlas to do them like in HO...

The MTL bulkhead is one of those highly compromised designs (too high, side sill too low) IMHO...

We had one that was. The other 4 were ok.
