A New Container Line

[GaryHinshaw]

Seen on p. 58 of the May/June NSR:



  The advertisers index lists the company as "A New Container Line".   Anyone have the scoop on this?

Interesting...

Exciting times for intermodal modellers

I was expecting more from you James.

Are these possibly the new releases from Scale Trains ?

[GaryHinshaw]

That was my first reaction too.  But since they have already announced theirs publicly, and have shown samples in Springfield, I don't see why they would try to be cagy.  It looks more like company B just wants to get the word out before Scale Trains corners the market.  Hopefully this embarrassment of riches does not cause both companies to suffer.

Or they placed that ad months ago and it just now ran.

Doesn't N-Scale have a manufacturers advertising index in the back?

Haha, I'm reserving comment until I know who the mystery manufacturer is. 

But, new body styles are good, I just hope they're done well. Should round out the modern Hunt and Schneider fleets well though.

What are approximate proto dates on these?

And I thought the BLMA tankers were my purchase for the year....

I wonder if Micro-trains will just bury their 53ft container now.

I actually forgot about that announcement.

I'm going to guess FVM or maybe Deluxe Innovations rising from the ashes?
Seems like in the past year we went from nothing to an embarrassment of container riches. Con-cor starts releasing again, Scaletrains enters the market, as does Atlas and Micro-trains. And now this.
No matter who it is, I'm seeing a container hoarding problem in my future.

I was contemplating a domestic stack train to pair with my seaborne train that is dominated by 40' cans.  These are really neat looking trains so I am looking forward to seeing what emerges.  I agree, it feels like we are now being flooded with containers after a period of drought.
