The Concor one being distributed by IM?

Looks like old tooling to me.

"Popular"? How do they know that if even the HO version hasn't been released?

Looks interesting but will it look as good as the HO model pictured? I do like how they give you so much information on the load and what scrap is all about.  ::)

Hmm, don't have time to compare it to the old Con-cor one I have but I'm guessing it's really 50' and OLD tooling.

It's nothing like the old Kato/ConCor 50' gon.

And you're looking at a photo of the HO version (look at the couplers), so imagine how the N scale version will be!?

I'm pretty sure this is not new tooling, but old tooling with new couplers and a load.

It is a Con-Cor product and will be labeled as such.  InterMountain is the distributor.

And a new box? I'd say maybe CC's learning from Wally, but I don't know how much these cars cost originally.

Interesting how people just jump right in and bash a product they haven't even seen yet. It's something I might need, so I'll wait and see.

  Intermountain and Con Cor have working together for awhile now. They (Con Cor) phoned me and offered me a good deal on my second IM SP AC12 Cab Forward locomotive.                                       Nate Goodman (Nato).Salt Lake ,Utah.

I got an NYC Gon from CC about 11 years agao. it said 50' Steel Gondola on the insert and retailed for $6.98. So MTL + Load + inflation equals a $10 increase in price assuming this is not all new tooling.
