I think a Tbox graffiti run similar to 2018's monthly release would be a great seller. You could probably do 2 per month and sell out of most. For myself I started holding off on the last couple months of the railbox series because I see way more Tbox on the rails.

Doesn't intermountain have the LBF tooling.?

Intermountain acquired the ex E&C Shops/LBF tooling from Frank Hubert, who marketed both the N and HO Scale lines of cars under the Hubert's Model Railroad Manufacturing Corp. brand.

The N Scale 14 Panel CoalPorterĀ® Decorated Kits that are currently listed on the Intermountain site are comprised of decorated shells that were manufactured by Cincinnati, Ohio based Hubert's, but never assembled into RTR cars.

Oh no... I would have to go into debt and get EVERY single one. This would be an insane run for modern era modelers.  The Graffiti/weathering work on MT's current cars is so outstanding but most of the car bodies are dated or not prototypical. Dam this needs to be done on this modern variant.

TBOX cars would absolutely bankrupt me. I don't care if they're Trinity or which builder variant. They're number one on my rolling stock wish list. MT could do a 24 runner pack and I'd probably buy 3-4 sets.  :o
I've got a handful of the LBF cars and I wouldn't sell them for $100 each, although they're not quite up to today's standards.
