NICE!!! L&N, Big 4 and C&O!!

I gotta tell ya' Craig. At the Golden Spike show here 4 weeks ago, I case of trains went to the floor and scattered. 12 of your C&O hoppers went everywhere. While I lost a fair amount of break hose's. No couplers were lost no trucks or wheels and no damage to the stirrups. The train ran flawlessly behind an ABA set of C&O F7's.

Great cars!

I envisage a new ad campaign... "Bluford Shops hoppers, they're Andy-proof!"

Neat. I don't think these would've lasted until 85. But... were these the cars that the Cambria & Indiana owned too? If so, I have a friend who'd lose his mind.

Yes, Cambria & Indiana had a thousand of these cars. Not bad for shortline...

If the trucks are your own tooling, please consider selling those as well.

I would certainly be interested and planning to purchase some
be it not for the K-4 and M-1 availability and possibility still this
year.

I hope those who can use these find them to be a worthwhile venture.

it is good to see N scale, northeastern RRs and coal mining being featured in this and
other recent releases.

sincerely
Gary

So, stupid question time... How do these compare to the recently released Bachmann cars?

What?  No Virginian???

I might be able to help with number series.  They definitely had them...

I would suspect that the detail will be considerably better, with the hand rungs in their proper position, looking at Bluford's artwork.

This is gonna hurt for sure. Gotta get the CN cars for sure and maybe some NH cars.

Craig or Bryan, what is the time frame for the NH cars.

Thanks for these Craig!!
