We've had a good run of companies bringing out products for eastern roads... Glad to see Athearn break that streak.  My wallet rejoices! ;D

Maybe for you Michael, but there are a whole lot of people down here that have been waiting for that Southern Bay Window.

PC&F
boxcars would certainly bankrupt me as it would many other SP modelers.  If you need one, then you need more than twenty.  Its all a numbers game, if Athearn makes 24 numbers I will have at least 24 of those cars.  The focused models like the C50-x and others prove that there is a market for accuracy in Nscale...

Oh well, it will be a long time before they get any more of my money, and they'll NEVER get any more photos/research from me ever again.  A-holes.

Hopefully someone will come out with upgraded versions of this car anyway.  Their 30 year old version is a turd.

You're allowed to say that here, too.

I agree about Athearn and the PC&F cars! But how on earth did you post on their Facebook page? I can't find one to post on.

Which one did you want Doug?

The HO listing for the month is enough to make you cry too.... how I'd love a Wabash Duraplate trailer.  :'(
MP15AC's would be nice and PC&F cars would lead to financial distress.

Wondering
if we can still refer to the original IM tunnel motors as 'Steaming Yard Loafs' or if some new politically correct term like 'warm sticky diaper contents' is now the officially sanctioned terminology...
