OK, so Robbman either got paid to be silent, is in a coma, or is being held captive against his will.   His "universal truth" is that any bit of foob directly prevents a legit car from being produced.   I don't know the specifics of his interaction with BLMA, but I know there is some, and I feel like he surely protests this at some level...maybe we'll hear from him.   :trollface:


Actually... my universal truth is that if you're going to tool up a car, do that car correctly.  As for this reefer... I'm the reason for 'Foob-a-licious'.  When Craig first asked me, I did say 'Oh hell no!'... but eventually after seeing so many other manufacturers pass off foobs and people buying them in droves, or completely screwing the pooch on the base model and people still buying them in droves... I said, go ahead... but we're going to be straight up front about the foob that it is.

As an aside... I wasn't in a coma, but I had some severe health issues with my intestines and appendix for the last two weeks... blah

And when foob profits are reinvested into non-foobs, everybody wins!

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

...my barrier for purchase is gross errors (like an ACL bulkhead being passed off as a pulpwood car).




Hint: It's not a pulpwood flat...

Craig should feel really bad for what he's done to you...   :-X

In all seriousness, sorry for your ailments...that could not have been a good couple of weeks for you.  Hope you're feeling better.

Meh, those two cars are close enough for most.  That orange juice car will look snappy and the BLMA car is very well done.  I'm still getting my head around a unit train of orange juice.  Thankfully it is not in tankers!

in Enola, no less. Interesting. But if you read the copy on the back of the box, that doesn't seem like what they were going for.

Good grief.  I love that juice.  This is not what I wanted to see...   They probably backhaul glycol  :trollface:

Never seen one of those tankers.  CSX does add container cars on the rear of the empty train.
