Narrowly
avoided a shutout on these, thank you Kathy.  Apparently my request at LHS was misplaced but I still got one at the last minute.  Still hoping for cancellations to round out my fleet.  Hoping that there is a fifth wheel option with a properly sized hole.  Really want to run these just a little dusty as 'bare tables' with hitches in both up and down positions.

Come on Tuesday...

MLE has got you covered: scale size 5th wheel and retractable.  Here's a sample:



With BLMA and Trainworx stepping up, I think there are many giddy N scale intermodal modellers this week, myself included.   :D

Thing is....the next run will probably street at that.   According to Craig the price will increase "considerably" on the next run due to labor prices and unforeseen complexity.

I would probably buy a couple more at $80 if I knew for sure that some 48's weren't around the corner.

$80 is a steal, I'd scope them up at that (well if I didn't have too much else on pre order commitment)

Just got around to setting them up.

Check with George at Wig-Wag Trains in New Mexico.  I saw him post on TB before it went down that he had extras available.  Didn't mention how many, but he would be way cheaper than those on eBay.

Definately giddy, maybe moreso after the weekend:



I thought I'd better get cracking on some loads whilst my spines are en-route. Not tired of lock rods or door latches yet, but I think the tire rims will test the patience.
Here's a quick shot a BNSF van prior to weathering:



Meanwhile, work continues on an experiment to make the Deluxe roadrailer look more like an intermodal trailer... but that's a topic for another day.

That is a nice scene there Smike.

For those still looking, Pete at BLW got some at $68.

Great car, but the hitches are a pain to built.

That's a hell of a fleet you have going there James.  Can't wait to see the run-by on video.   :D
