New BLMA car?

[Dave Schneider]

Thanks for the list Jason. Just as I suspected....BLMA continues to have an anti-Milwaukee Road bias!   

Best wishes, Dave

AAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!! 4 YEARS OFF!!! think anyone will notice a 1959 car in an 1943-1955 era?

[MichaelWinicki]

You beat me to it, Dave! 



Who said we only make modern cars?   

Nice looking car!

Hey Craig, can you give a listing of the dates that appear on the cars?

[asarge]

Nice!! Thanks Craig. Does anybody do this in HO? It would be nice to trump them again.

Cool. Fits my era so I'm in. Not a model I need or, frankly, was even aware of, but more variety is always good!

Quaker Oat car would be of interest... they've a plant in Peterborough, ON., and these cars would have been running in the 1980's.

I'm going to cheat with the St. Lawrence Sugar, as technically it appeared three years after my time period.  But it's a neat car and I always support the cause.    I definitely will get a Penn Central and/or Conrail representative when they eventually make the schedule in 2013 or 2014.

Very interesting car.  For you Conrail guys (and anyone else modeling the 80's), there is a photo of PRR 261003 on page 63 of MSB's PRR color guide, volume 1, in full PRR paint at Northumberland, PA on 14Feb88.  Looks like the Pennsy's will be joining my roster.  Maybe a BN and CGW too.  Thanks.

I thought B&M had some of these as well but I can not find anything. I thought they had been used in Revere Sugar service... Hmmmmm



Edit:
The Revere cars were GA2600's 

[asarge]

D'oh! You mean to tell me I loaded up on PS-4000s to haul malt to Schmidt's Brewing on my layout when I really needed to wait for this car? Way to hose a guy into having to buy more rolling stock, bunghole...

Uhhhhh Nope! The 4000's would not go to waste. You'll just have a little variety now.

That be her.

Was thinking of adding a NECCO factory to the layout. Those cars, along with some GACX from BLMA GA3500's would look sweet.

[Robbman]

I guess I can stop building this.

Repurpose it and make a 3660 Airslide...  those were almost road specific...

[Mark5]

Hmm, Wabash had these? 

[towl1996]

Excellent. Has the look of another hit, just like the Beatles or the Stones used to do. Those PRR beauties are calling my name. Thanks

I really want that Dupont car I posted.  I'm going to sacrifice $21.55 and make the PRR cars a little more collectible and see what can be done.
