March 2018 Microtrains Releases

Here:

The N&W MOW car is of great interest to me:

Looks like MTL did a pretty good job: http://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/detail.php?ID=13251

The green is a bit lighter than the actual N&W MOW green, but could represent a faded car well. N&W painted the roofs on MOW cars silver, but that is an easy fix in this case. I will be getting this! Looks like the car rides a bit high, will need to lower.

Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor!

I like the MTL version much better. Had much better weight and details.

There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

A lot better and heavier than the MDC.
They must be selling well. Seems like there's two more released every month.

I thought MTL wasn't making the SW1500 anymore. I know I read here on TRW too, but maybe I missed the joke emoji... Anyway, I hope MTL (AHEM, Joe!) gets around to a GN BSB release of the loco.

Me too, as long as the right shade of "Gray" and not "Black" is used.  :)
