Ed- Ron's long awaited FMC 5283 boxcars were released in May. Very, very nice and very welcome. A prototype of his PS Railbox was on display at a convention last summer so perhaps its general release is just around the corner.
SHS USRA covered hopper (including an NYC paint scheme) has been delayed but is coming.

In the loco department, River Raisin Models' SP steam program is wonderful, but not here yet. Same with the 0-6-0. Not to mention Budd cars. Lotsa announcements, but no hardware at this time -- although RRM's SP stuff is enroute from Korea. Good old Jim King has released some new resin freight car kits. But what other new (not mere repaints) freight cars have recently become available? No new passenger cars at all. Seems to me that new S products are, for the most part, MINOR things like details, smaller structures, decals, etc. BTS, being an exception to my general observation, has announced some larger S structures, but that is about all in the structure department. Am I missing anything truly significant here that has become available (read: in stock) during the past two years? Fingers are crossed....Ed L.
