I saw that!

Come on trash train!

Metal wheels, wonder if there close to what FVM look like.

NJ is the first thing I though about when I saw this announcement.  ;D

Don't  
need them but I'm happy for those who wanted these...

Could PC&F boxcars be next?  Please...

[Bob Bufkin]

Dammit Ed, you beat me to it.  Just received their e-mail on this.  Now you just have to add the stink!

Love the thread title.

Maybe these will filter down one day too

Note that it's also the launch of a new product line - Trainman Plus.

The plus is it comes in Smell O Rama...

No, the plus is the price. $25.00 for a flatcar and this thing doesn't even come with the containers. Add that into the mix.  I thought $19.00 for an open hopper was bad enough.  And the real kicker is that these things don't run as singles.  They're run as unit trains.

That's one thing I relish about having switched eras, I don't miss the unit train sticker shock.

I don't know, that's about where the other 89' flats are these days:
BLMA cars are $26
MTL cars are $19
Trainworx cars are $28.95

Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't make it right.

I'm looking forward the first Tom Mann weathering job on one of these... How will he tackle the flock of seagulls that always follow these trains?

And to think that no one has asked MTL Joe for these...
