To whet you appetites for "what's next in S scale", it'll be the CofG 40'
ventilated boxcar with open and solid doors. This car spans 1933/34 to the
mid-50s as represented by the decals; different decals can backdate the car
to the mid-20s. Due to SHS' Andrews trucks inventory problems, only the
first few cars will have the "with trucks & couplers" option. Eventually,
I'll be injection molding my own, but for now I rely on SHS. This car
should be available in late April/early May.
For you modern modelers, a Southern Ry. 50' PS waffle side box will follow
the vent box, due out this Summer. This car was built by Pullman in 1974 in
several lots with only minor changes between each lot. Hundreds of them
still roam the US wearing SR, early NS and current NS schemes (under the
graffiti!).
Following the SR box will be the SAL B7 roundroof box (thanks TOTALLY to
John Degnan's help and persistence!), a B&O wagontop box, SAL 40' high side
gon and the MILW 40' ribbed side box, most likely in that order. All of
these cars were in abundance into the mid-70s and long after that in MOW
service. The SAL box will be offered in HO as well . one of the many neat
things about using CAD to design patterns!
Watch this list for further announcements.
