Undec single window coaches, so I am a happy camper.

And weathered cars too new for me, but I can remember them rusting in freight yards 40 years ago.

Weathered Heritage series is interesting..... but no interest in CSX..
Hopefully more of those to come..  obviously Conrail, but UP, BNSF, NS, CN or CP would be interesting.. 

I think the wife would like Spider Express

[Rivet Miscounter]

Dear Micro-Trains,  A couple of observations...
1. This (currently announced for pre-orders) scheme, most recently done exactly SIX years ago, is still in-stock and available from at least two Z dealers and has also been done previously.

2. This scheme (including this BNSF-patched version, plus its BN-brethren) has NEVER been done in Z-scale.

Just something to think about. (along with a weathered version of any of them)

The Mail Train looks interesting. And so does that CSX heritage as a series. Might remember to pre-order this time.

[Ed Kapuscinski]

I think I'm safe for a month.

Finally.

But some of that CSX heritage stuff might be trouble.

Now that I think about it, that PRR mail train too.

Dammit.

Me too!  But I don't see them for sale with the rest of the releases anywhere, not even at MT's own website...anyone seen a place to buy these?

SBD/CSX, WM/CSX, and those two PC weathered cars for me. Those PC cars look like they'll be gorgeous.

Dammit.

Same here with the CSX series.  Probably not getting the entire set, but a handful of those cars will end on up the Hanover Sub, the Seaboad System, the B&O and WM best bets

TBOX for me.

[Englewood]

I like the idea of the Family Tree series. I hope to see it for BNSF.
I also like the pink TBOX, but I refuse to pay $59.95 for a single boxcar.

I also like the pink TBOX, but I refuse to pay $59.95 for a single boxcar.

It does say that 10% of the cost is donated to Cancer research.
I can’t pretend I know what these cars sell for normally but there is some good being done.

[Philip H]

I'll be in for the cancer box car.

The CSX set is tempting, but I'd rather a KCS version . . . BEFORE they get bought out . . . .

It's the Pullman Green one.  Apparently they still have stock from 2018.

  Nevermind.  Gotta learn to read.   

[reinhardtjh]

Funny, there's just been a fairly long (and somewhat heated) discussion in the PRRT&HS email list of PRR M&E (Mail and Express) trains and if they every had cabins attached for crew, or coaches for REA/Mail crew and if they were called "freight" or "passenger" trains.

I'm curious what 40' box car they will use.  The coach is very close to a P70.  The baggage and RPO are foobs, but sorta close.  @Lemosteam  might have cause to fire up his Keystone Details mods for the B70 baggage cars again.

Finally, my ACL heavyweights! Guess I'll need to get around to getting power for them...
