New Showcase Miniatures items in development!

Hello all...
I'm VERY excited about some new Showcase Miniatures items currently under development! (NOT a vehicle!)
Items that almost EVERY N scaler needs, regardless of era modelled; and something that is woefully unavailable to us N scalers!
Keep your eyes peeled!

Joe is pretty good about posting announcements here so we should all see it in a timely fashion.

Yeah... I am like 4 announcements back on my orders. At this point I wait till the till hits $100 before my next purchase. I honestly don't know how they are producing these so fast.

More money?
More space?
More hours in a day?

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

I suspect by rapid-prototyping their master patterns. I am actually planning on posting my findings about this (one of these days).  I suspect it is quicker to design and manipulate a model on a computer than actually sculpting one manually.

Ah, you noticed a very fine grain on some of the castings too?

The alligator-skin on some of their cabs was another problem.  I noticed some faint hints of what looks like RP-printing layering on the COE cab and rear axle.

1960s-era trackwork equipment, and early cranes/cherry pickers to go with your early IH?  Or is that vehicles?
