Very cool!   Very glad to see the Gifford Hill cars!  I just wish MTL would do more GIHX Ortners.   

This announcement will pretty much complete my train of rock hoppers.  Now we need to work on more gons for sand and gravel!

Rock On!!!!

Wish we had more SP (original, not GWS) this time too  :'(

Those and the WC cars were our least popular this time around. I couldn't believe it on the SP as even in North Georgia we have several die-hard SP fans. I'm sure that doesn;t apply elsewhere, just a surprise too me.

I looked at the SP at Wig Wag and wasn't impressed, but did buy one.  I guess I like the more colorful schemes, and maybe most others do too, even if we need more dullness to make our trains look real.

I like this second run, because in my world, I also need more private road and lease cars to get my fleet more protypical to 2005. I am not surprised that they made the traditional roads more in run one.

Damn....was hoping the Trumix ones would be green!  :
