For all of the Whiners...PRR, PC, LV, CR

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Why would they advertise a car that is 20 months out from delivery

Cause you have to pre-order everything these days.

Or he just wants to give us a good "Request for Comment" period

Or he wants to keep someone else from jumping in and making it.

2 CR Quality, high ladders

And a PC paint-out for good measure

I haven't been this excited over a boxcar since the TLT newsprint cars were anounced. At least I know these will come out well.

When can we pre-order?

I'll take a case (12) of undecs

I think it shows good planning. Bryan has announced his stuff ~18+ months out before. At least we know his production schedule; Oct/Nov is more gons, then next summer more XIH's, and then next fall/winter X58's. He's pretty transparent about what he does.

Well, we have 20 months to help with road number gamma correction issues! ;D

[lock4244]

Cool, a few more cars for BUCP/CPBU and a little more variety. I'm in for some CR's appropriate for the late 80's... and a PC paintout or two.

I bought the ESM CR gon, now will the CR guys get my back and make Atlas do the CN GP40-2W in N?!?!? Please, you know CR leased a shoot load of them in it's early years... you need them too  >

Not being of the Pennsy persuasion I had no idea what the hell an X58 was...I assumed yet another Skunkworks top secret project...alas I was wrong...(I keep forgetting the company which I keep here)... So I decided to investigate said X factor car...found a HO guy's site that has all kinds of pictures that the Pennsy-ites and those that followed said defunct railway (including modern NS modelers) will like.............

I'm just giddy for y'all..................... ;D

Basically, anyone that models from 1963 on to the end of the century in North America could and probably should use a X58.

Excellent!  Bring on the LV versions!

Hmmm.  I wonder if the Laurel Valley might not roster a handful of these?....

A bit too new for me, but im happy to see such nice cars being produced!

[bbussey]

Geez, that magazine comes out earlier and earlier every issue! 

Lots of schemes to do on this model.  Here's my favorite. 



Don't forget NS and a few other surprises.

So a company like Exactfail will hopefully choose to not duplicate the car?

[ai5629]

Finally this car is being produced.  I hope everyone will support this project by pre-ordering these cars.  We need the Western guys to order these also.  If your railroad interchanged with PRR (post 64), PC, LV or CR, then this car was on your line.  I am willing to scan photos of paint scheme variations for your to consider.  Thank you Brian.  Hell has frozen over again.  (The first time was when Atlas painted MP15's for the Union Railroad).
