The convention just started today and I doubt you will hear of anything new until Friday the 23rd when the show opens for attendees.

Announced on facebook just now, I'm guessing to coincide with NSE, Wheels of Time have announced an X-Post 50' PCF RBL / XLI box car.

Here's the discussion page:

I'm hoping we get an update from Fox Valley on their intermodal items announced last year - both the containers and well cars. Samples? Release schedule? Paint schemes?

Maybe the next announcement of roadnames from Trainworx on their 28' and 53' intermodal trailer varieties?

I'd love to see any pre-production models of the Intermountain Gunderson 50' HiCube Double Door box cars, although I see they've pushed the release back to March 2018, so I won't hold my breath.

Atlas announcing the Thrall 53' 3-car set has joined the HO-to-N shrink machine would be awesome.

Kato could finally announce a Southern Pacific specific AC4400CW and my wallet would go into cardiac arrest.

Considering Athearn had a sample of the tanktrain on display at the Bay Area RPM last weekend, photos of the pre-production samples would be great.

Hopefully Scaletrains has more roadnames on their containers too.

Can someone ask NARC what is happening with their well car they announced at Roanoke?

Doesn't ScaleTrains owe us an announcement originally scheduled for late May?

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

They're announcing their loco but pushed the two freight cars back a few months....

I spoke with scalestrains last weekend at the BAPM and mentioned that it would be great to see them shrink the T4 GEVO. Hopefully that's their announcement....or something else that's awesome that I don't realize I want :-)

They had some n scale containers in paint schemes I haven't seen before. Said these are just hitting stores now. Can't remember any specific details of the names.

Carbon cars were also on display and looked really good. I just haven't ever seen one in person in my railfanning.

Deluxe is done. Maybe Intermountain or someone else picked up tooling.

Atlas has pre-production samples of the 1973-75 Ford F-100s on display.



Trainworx has test shots of a dry bulk trailer and two grain trailers, as well as a triple axle reefer on display.
