In all the fuss of Kansas City did we miss the August 2018 Micro-Trains announcements?  I looked but didn't see them. 

I saw this on Facebook and it caught me by surprise. https://www.model160.com/n-scale-news-blog/microtrains-august-2018-n-scale-announcements/

M.B. Klein's had 30 of the tucson undecorated coaches on hand Friday night and zero by Sunday morning.  There were 50 PRR coaches and 26 now.  Get 'em while you can.  Interstingly they didn't list the Pullman green coach.

They were posted on the MTL website roughly two weeks ago.

I picked up the the Conrail two bay hopper at Altoona last weekend.  It is straight out of the the MSB CR Color Guide.  I have always wanted to decal that car, but I never managed to.  I am glad I do not have to now.  MTL did a very nice job with this car.  It even has the Reading Car Shop’s signature “dashed” COTS.  Thanks.

I just ordered one today. I'm glad it gets your seal of approval!

That's good to hear. Modeling this car was on my rather large "to do" list as well. I was more than happy to be able to cross something off that list as modeling time has been scarce these days. Mine should be arriving this week.

I ordered the tuscan red PRR coach. Alas, wrong trucks, but I had to buy it.

After the first one I thougt they would make a runner pack, just like with the sleeping cars. But having two coaches is just one car away from a runner pack. :D
