Maybe its finally that PRR P70 coach that he showed several years ago when he ran that survey. i suspect that the length of the black box has little to actually do with the new release.

Lots of chatter about this if you google it...

Dee's a bit hung over from the "what is it?" BLMA thread.


Hmm... I'm guessing it's
a flat car...


I too am a little tired of this approach.  At least give us some real clues, or better yet how about the real information.

WOT is just "building the buzz" like a great many company's do, in many, many different markets regarding their "coming announcements"... It's just a way to get your attention and get you thinking and, more importantly "talking" about their company.... it's a time tested and proven marketing strategy.... relax and enjoy the speculation and consternation that results in teasers such as this.

...and, for the record, I think it's the giraffe hatch 60' Harriman roof baggage circus express................ :facepalm:

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

A modernized P70?!? Sweet! Now we just need a raging locomotive to pull it.  :trollface:

Building the buzz is really only effective in an environment where there's significant product competition.  It's more detrimental in a situation where hopes are built and then let down.  Ever heard of the boy who cried wolf?

The "guess what we're building" cliche is getting a little tired. Why not try something more subtle like an Apple-style, "Tune in for a product announcement on Sep. 9."

Guessing would be more interesting with a clue.

Ya, with some of their stuff being so modern I would not appreciate wasting my time playing the guessing game.  BLMA at least gave you a clue on it being a freight car! :D

Without sounding like too dumb of a question....when does the September Model Railroader magazine usually hit the shelves?

No need for me to Google it... I keep a bookmark for the old Atlas Forum for anything like this... which makes it easy to find nearly anything I want to find.  I miss the forum but I am so very glad that Railwire has proven itself to be of value!!!

I hope that Atlas keeps it online, but we really don't know for how long. I also go there for research and reference info.

Coldriver:  I'll second the log loader.  Not only a very common sight in the West, but they've already done most of the work.  I can use three right now.
