    Nice, where do I order it. Also, why did you post it in the n scale site first.

    Hey Robert,

    I just ordered 10 more sets - that's 50 more beyond whatever you ordered! Now, all we need is some Z scale bucksawZ, if not chain sawZ, and model a whole squatload of stumpZ all over our layoutZ!

    I can't wait for theZe babieZ to arrive! I'll race ya!

    Thanks for pushing theZe out, Alan!

    All Z BeZt,
    Jim

    Robert and Other CraZieZ Like UZ,

    Oh, yeah, and we now need a slew of Z scale box and frame style trailerZ to mount on theZe carZ (all the logZ I mentioned above will go on the frame trailerZ). The Micron Arts box trailer is beautiful, but at $30+ each, it will be a long time before I'll be able to buy enough to fill up all of theZe carZ (not to mention the time to build and paint all thoZe trailerZ! [​IMG]

    More of Z BeZt,
    Jim

    I bought some of the 25' pups off ebay, and plan on getting some Mark$Design 28' trailers when they show up any day now. ;)

    Mark, when you have the 28ft trailers done, they will need some longer ones, like 40, 45 and 48ft ;) :D

    Alan, they look great! I'll definitely be ordering some in the future (Track is my main concern right now however).

    I got mine it the mail yesterday, and just opened them up. Very nice castings!

    I have to make up some decals for them, and was wondering if anyone else besides Trailer Train has these. I want to do one set in TTX Yellow, and a different scheme for the other set.

    Also, I looked on the web for pictures, and I see many of these cars have the hitching post removed, and are carrying containers. Is that a different version of the car or am I seeing correct?

    -Robert :D
