N-Scale Convention Canonical Announcement Thread ***

[bbussey]

Any more info on the "new line of vehicles" from Neil's N Gauging Trains? I couldn't find them on the web....maybe I don't know where to look.

Best wishes, Dave

Yes, but it wasn't anything that jumped out at me so I don't remember what they were.  As I recall, it was a recounting of what he recently has released, rather than an announcement of new vehicles coming.  I vaguely recall a 1958 station wagon but don't hold me to it.  I don't remember, as I was preparing for my own presentation.

Sorry to contribute to the thread drift, but my sentiments, too. I do not "do" FB. 

It's a shame to see a great site fall into this populist sewer.

It was a last minute decision while sitting at breakfast, and a small treat for the 4,700+ people that do follow the Facebook page. 

Like Bryan said, if I find time I have photos and information to pull together for a post to the site.  Work has kept me away from updates for the past few months, which is what happens with M:160 not being a full time job.

Bryan, do you recall if Neil's will be upgrading its product quality, or is this going to be the same solid-cast product line?

Any insight into N Scale Kits Milwaukee Road auto carrier?  I don't know of such a beast but it sounds interesting.

N scale U25C? They've got some interesting models in the old line up so interesting things to come I guess.....

No news on the Kato freight car sets?

From what I heard I doubt that any of the old line up will turn up again and I think that is good. Most of these old products are at least 20 year old and won't stand up against the competition.

Car Nos. 52500-52749 are 42' inside with capacity of 2750.  They could be PS-3s.

Jason

The 2750cf cars were ACF built.

If correct this list could be indicative for the Atlas PS3:

I didn't make it over to Neil's table, and I wasn't listening when he was at the podium this morning, so I don't know the specifics on his automobile line.

Peter had an etched-brass 1950s auto carrier at the show.  He sold out of the quantity he brought with him, but has more back in England.  I'm guessing this is the one you are referring to.

That's the series I had, but Robb dumped on it. 

There's a decal company that identifies that series as PS-3s as well.

Not quite what I meant Marc, if the U25C gets retooled it stands to reason anything in future they decide to release will be to the same standard not the decades old standard of their old stuff.

Took me a few moments to work out where the announcement was on the FB page , but once found it was a useful update. Thanks.

I appreciate the updates on Facebook. 

I am guessing if you look hard enough you can find model railroaders who refuse to use the internet, better shut down all the forums!!   LOL

Me too.

Man we are getting excellent locomotives the switcher and now a U25C which will yield plenty of schemes such as PC, Prr and Conrail hopefully C&O had some also

C&O had U25B's but not 6 axle U25's and no SW1500's. Biggest whole in C&O Loco's that need to be done is the AS616.

At least now you'll have a place for those cornfield meets.
