For what it's worth (IMO) - If MT wants the TSC grow to a 'Proto 160' type solution, they need to produce a TSC with a 1015 shank (with or without slinky).. and I sent some design ideas to @Shipsure.. Maybe sales have really fallen off for TSC couplers since the initial release - but as big of a hit as it was when it started, I'm surprised they didn't follow up with a more universal solution.~Ian
Also I doubt Penncentral ran these in large numbers on a given train, they probably were mixed in with other cars or in short strings.
Hmmmm. Not enough orders.....So why did they leave CSX modelers out of the equation?They did a Conrail patched for NS.Why not one for CSX?????If they did, I'd probably break down and reserve one.How hard can it be to add a yellow number? and some small CSX lettering- when they have everything else already done?http://www.trainweb.org/csxphotos/photos/C39-8/7485cr.jpgAnd do you think this would increase sales?http://www.trainweb.org/csxphotos/photos/C39-8/7488CSX-bc.jpgAnd this?http://www.trainweb.org/csxphotos/photos/C39-8/7482CSX-yn3.jpgI don't know. I guess there are more NS fans than CSX.
My guess is they need something unique for the second run.
We have more stuff in the schedule, but the DODX Flats and the Single Window coach is eating up all our tooling capacity at the moment. Orders on the flats were enormous, way, way beyond what I thought they would be and I'm accused of being too much of an optimist sometimes LOL. So to get things done and meet pre-order schedules, everything had to wait a bit. The decks should be clear soon so we can get on with the TSC additions. I agree about the 1015 style shank set up though I like the look of the 1023 box myself.Joe
One that would fit a standard 1015 box would be perfect. This was a big reason I have not used them yet. We also need an underslung option that fits in the 2001 and 2019 style boxes.
