[clarkrw3]

Craig, I am glad to see that you are taking strides to give us body mount couplers,prototype ride height and metal wheels, I can hardly wait to get your Santa Fe covered hoppers, if they look as good as your pictures, I will be a happy camper, when are they coming out? thank you,

[Craig Martyn]

Thanks guys!

Gene:  The PS-4000's are available and should be at your favorite dealer any day now.  Furthermore, we're SOLD OUT of nearly all numbers, so get them fast before they're all gone...

Better
be one in SP labeled for me at my LHS, that way nobody gets hurt...

1 truck style down, 50 more to go?   ;D

I definitely vote for bulk packs, especially if a bit of a price break ensues.  Having said that, I thought these trucks were expensive (e.g. $4.79 @MBK), but a pair of MT 1036 plus 4 axles of FVM wheels costs about $4.40 when purchased in bulk, so it's pretty close.

I'm really looking forward to the Sargent-style coupler from BLMA.    (Now stop it - that's how rumors get started.)

Yes...2 x atlas 100 ton/4 x FVM  is working out to about $4 give or take.

A bulk option on the BLMA product would be quite competitive, and a single source would be nice.



Wow! sargent-style couplers next quarter!...amazing!!! (that is how rumours get out of hand)

Been
testing those new BLMA couplers for weeks now...

Those would make for some awesome weathering projects:

The vertical streaks on the 2nd GN photo would be interesting to replicate.

Note the placard on the CGW example and how it differs from the BLMA model.  Could be fun to copy that for some variety.

(Torn?) cosmetic sponge, maybe?

maybe, maybe.  I was thinking about an old brush where a majority of the bristles are stuck together with dried paint.

Sounds like it wouldn't be too hard to come up with one of those  ;D

Or what about something like this:

Yes, I have a few comb brushes.  That might work, but the effect might not be as subtle as needed.

Ironically, I used a comb brush to paint the spilled load on Craig's prototype:

Or cheesecloth, or a gauze bandage?
