Wheels of Time announced today that they will have a new run of their 60' Baggage and Express cars. Roads include UP, DL&W, CN, SOU, IL and SP.

Preorders are due April 11, and they should arrive by late summer. http://www.wheelsotime.com/blog/2017/2/14/a-new-run-of-n-scale-60-ft-baggage-express-cars.html

Lets hope that they get the green colour right on the CN cars this time. Last time they were too bright.  :(
It's not like the info isn't out there.

I'm just happy that they're re-running the DL&W green cars. It's been like searching for a needle in a hay stack on eBay for them.

I wish they were doing the gray and maroon scheme too though

thanks for this heads up.

the NKP had a lot of the D&LW through traffic on the head end of their small (but efficient) passenger schedules.

I will need to scoop some of these up.

If you have an issue with the color, let Matt know.  The EL MOW color shown on the flyer is off, and I have had the ELHS working with him to get it corrected.  He is open to help.

Does anyone know if these UP and SP baggage cars would show up on UP Trains 5 & 6 in the 1950s and 60s?  I've seen the 6-axle cars and more modern smoothside cars on these trains but unsure of these 4 axle baggage cars would be present on the trains.
