N-Scale Convention Canonical Announcement Thread ***

[Sokramiketes]

Bluford Shops "mass-produced injection-molded cornfields".  Now this is something I just GOTTA see....

The announcement was hilarious.  Craig mentioned they have a cornfield across the street and are doing crop-fanning to make sure it's prototype.

Here you go!!!!

PS my apologies to Mike for stealing his FB feed, but it was full of good stuff and needed to be shared widely!!!

Yes, I'll be disappointed if they model a high-yield modern field as opposed to a transition-era one!!

No genetically modified n-scale cornfields on my layout!!!

My BN can use several U25Cs in both NP and BN, and since the NP's U28Cs were visually identical, there's two models off my list.  I'll definitely be waiting for those.

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

Dave,

Nothing Neal said was really new, but it was just a recap of the past year or so. 

The 1930s sedans and coupes were announced in Medford last year.  Neal had examples at the convention, and have been available for a while.  They are currently out of stock at Walthers.

The Chevy referred to was the release of the 1958 Impala without the continental kit.  Peter Harris had asked Neal to produce the Impala without the continental kit for his auto carrier.  Again this model has been available for a while.

Neal also mentioned his dirt bike and Harley, which are also currently out of stock at Walthers.

Hyperlinks to the individual pages on Walthers web site did not work, but all of the models are listed on page 2 of Neal's vehicles if you do an advanced search for manufacturer 530, N scale and vehicles .

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

Bryan,

A photo as well as other information on the auto carrier can be found on the N Scale Vehicle Association's Industry News page.

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.

The U25C is not retooled, it's completely new. There used to be an U28C from Minitrix, but Minitrix is not part of Hornby.

You know what I mean

So exciting! Joe, I'm stoked about the D78 diner AND the trucks. Yeah, Kato makes the trucks too, but they aren't exactly "plug and play."  I hope they will be offered by themselves   

Were there any announcements from N Scale Kits about the Queen Mary flat car? Anyone hear anything about it?

[mcjaco]

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.

It isn't all Mike's fault either.  He's got help that isn't helping much either lately.....(*ducks*).

Life has kind of gotten in the way lately.

No genetically modified n-scale cornfields on my layout!!!   

+1.

Will it be feed corn or sweet corn? Early season, mid growing season, or harvest variety stalks? Will they add etched brass tassels to the stalks or will these parts be available as an aftermarket add on?

And what about fields with crop circles?

 

[Bob Bufkin]

Place these near your Ethinol loading facility. 

[Puddington]

He better have the crop circle option or I'm flaming the whole project.....
