Looks like they did a bunch of roadnames in HO:

And MTL is doing the high 4427.

What was the 1990s Walthers?

Does it say when they'll be released?  I missed the SP gons because I was out of town.  I really only need ADM, but will surely pick up CGW if they do then plus some single midwest roadnames.

Based on previous ER releases, I guess these will be out in the next 8 weeks or so.

This is well timed for me, as I have been trying to score a Wally 4427 for about a month or so (unsuccessfully) - so I can abandon the Wally quest. ;D

The only challenge will be to try and figure out what paint scheme legitimately would have been seen on the Pokey.

This is awesome news! And I hate the word awesome, so for me to use it...

Do they mention what paint schemes will be first?

[asarge]

Jason,

They didn't say when and no formal announcement ofd Roadnames. They have already done more schemes in HO than Walthers ever released in N, so as long as we keep buying they keep releasing. It almost looks like they've covered just about every scheme in the MSB Pullman Standard book.

[sirenwerks]

They've got plenty more to go after that though. From the RMJ article series, there's still Tabor, Midland Continental, Peavey, B&W Co-op, the plain TLDX schemes, Commodity Traders, and Cargill's newer scheme, plus a whole lot more. I imagine Far-Mar-Co would do well too.

Hopefully what took them so long to do the 4427 was that they didn't re-use the end dies from the PS-4000... maybe we'll see body-mounts and an etched brake platform on these.

Photos up on the Exactrail site and the ad is on their facebook page.

ATSF, BN, DRGW, UP and Pillsbury first up. Released Tuesday 18th Jan and $25ea retail.

Looks like body mount platform tooled (nice!), but not an etched brake platform Robbman.

[sirenwerks]

No body mounts.  >  ER's website states the car's era is from 1974 to present but the build date on the Pillsbury car's 1964 and the UP car '66. Proof reading is a lost art.

I have an App for that !!   ;D

Man that is a Western heavy list. I would like to purchase a few to support the cause, but I can only justify so many western grain hoppers in Boston. I have a string of BN, ATSF and SP covered hoppers already.

ER, please give us some Eastern roads.

Looks like 10 more WM hoppers I have to buy....

EL, LV, BM, and WM aren't eastern roads?  

Lots of private companies in there too. Scoular, Garvey, Producers, Cargill, ADM, etc.

(Based on what they've released so far in HO, probably all come out in N eventually...)

George (WW) has them up on his website. not very excited by the initial road names (ATSF, BN, UP, Pillsbury, D&RGW) announced, but I shot a ATSF one in Belleville, ON., last winter so I might spring for one. Maybe a Pillsbury car, too...

Looking forward to the SOO, MILW, and Chessie cars.
