And I'm pretty sure we have a winner with this guess.  This would pair all to well to their n scale container line. Yuge gap in n scale. (As you said it once Gary, its like all of n scale having only 1 style of box car with just the Kato & DI Gunderson offerings)
Ooohhh!  That could get expensive....

Yes.  But recall that Deluxe Innovations and Pacific Western had also announced such plans.  I'm not claiming FVM's plans will suffer the same fate as theirs, but the territory does seem to be cursed.

Here is a small fraction of my new Scale Trains container fleet, riding on a homogenous string of Kato wells:

Gary, you're going to have to quit double stacking your container trains. The top containers block the view of Bakersfield through the benchwork. That would upset some of your operating crew.

Well, 11:59:59 EDT PM is still 4/27/17, but I think they are in Central time, so it could go as late as 12:59:59 PM EDT. :P
