MTL August releases

[Philip H]

Let's see - undec sw1500 bodies; Flexicoil side frames; undec business cars; and a really neat and weather able per diem box. Nope, nothing catches my eye.

The weathered CP Rail hopper 4 pack anyone?

Looks like it may be an expensive month for yours truly.  Undec horse cars (I will no doubt figure out how to use a couple of those) and 1 each ATSF express boxcars (I know it isn't really an FE 24, but I've been after them to do this scheme since they did the map cars 20 years ago).  I know they aren't really FE-24s, but my recollection is that the major "3 foot" visual difference is the sill, which can be modified with a file if I want to go that far.

I'm going to pass on the ATSF express cars, I have a bunch of the IM cars in the same scheme (with black roof). But the Undec diner looks like a bash opportunity for a UP diner, so I'm ordering one of those...

I'm not familiar with MBK's MTL schedule -- Microtrains has announced the August issues but when does MBK usually list them?

They show up as just another new item on their N-scale page http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/N-Scale-s/3.htm  and the slowly get pushed down when other new produces arrive and get posted.  But on the same page there is also a "Micro-Trains Monthly Releases" sub-category if that is all that you want to look at.

But MBK shows the monthly releases only after they have them in-stock.  That is why I usually look for the new releases on the BLW website - they show them as soon as MTL sends them the info.

Typically the second Saturday of the month IIRC...
