I'd be in for SCL/SBD, RF&P, and SOU waffles!  They're not exactly the same car, but I could live with that.

Well, why haven't they?  I see them go by my office on a nearly daily basis, and I have dozens of pics of them in Baton Rouge from the 1990's in interchange service.  Given how well the old, poorly tooled LL ones did (I think they were LL: maybe Roundhouse), if EXR put theirs out, I think we'd all buy in fairly significant quantity.  Yet all they keep announcing is HO . . . .

Don't hold your breath..I ask ER and their reply wasn't to promising concerning a N Scale waffle.

I also asked if they had any  N Scale planned and again not to promising-about as promising as their reply to me in 2010.."Watch our Blog for exciting new  N Scale releases..9 months into 2011 we seen one new car-far from their"exciting new N Scale releases".. :(

What about those AT&SF extended roof boxcars.

If that includes just making the car underneath, I'm in.

NH 36 footer so I don't have to rebuild mine.

You $@(*&%@$#, you've built one of those and didn't tell me?  :P

I'll have to make a couple myself one day.  They're not at the top of the list though.

The P-S Waffle Box is one of their most requested N scale models.  Keep asking.

Built it a while ago. Not the greatest, but:

It uses Red Ball end that Gregg Mahlkov gave me.

Incidental I was on the crapper earlier with the issue of Mainline Modeler with the NH boxcar drawings  :P  :facepalm:   Ahh good times.

I would vote for a waffleside car from the 70's.  The Souther cars come to mind but AT&SF and Conrail has some wafflesides also.

Your thoughts.

Conrail only had 60' waffle sides and they're already represented by the Micro Trains Berwick car...

I have to agree the waffle side is one of the most requested cars. It certainly is in my area for good reason, But I continue to see it requested on the forum. Also have to say the PC&F series is needed, as long as TivoPrince is sitting down if there ever is an announcement.

+15 for Waffles. Any waffles, Southern, CSX, 40', 50', 60' or even blueberry. I see them all the time, I don't have time to count corrugations, I just know they are a waffle side box car and they stand out in a train. A couple major variations is all I would need or expect to see. I think it would be impossible to do all of them.

Bryan,I do keep asking but,in order to get something accomplish we going to need more to join the chorus and bombard ER with e-mail request for the waffle.

I need at least 7 for Southern,5 for  NS and any shortline.

Larry,

Read between the lines.  Keep asking.  I can't say any more than that.

You see the fool thing they invested their tooling money in? :facepalm:
http://www.exactrail.com/

Only $59.95!

I give up! They're more and more into HO and seemly caring less and less about  N Scale.

I would like to see EXR do their 60' Greenville boxcars in N scale!
   ^1++++

  I have asked them if they would make it in N scale. No reply, but I have my fingers crossed.
