I hear these are coming: 50000460 New Haven #31728 (Z) 40' Std Boxcar w/ Superior Door 51500140 Spokane, Portland & Seattle (Z) 40' Double Sheath Boxcar 52400030 Missouri Pacific #819720 (Z) 60' Flat Car 52500130 Canadian Pacific #307110 (Z) 40' Flat Car But I don't know about any loco releases. I hope they release the NP GP9 now instead of waiting a month. I can't take the suspense!
5/29 Micro-Trains June Z Scale Releases Announced - Images Coming Soon - Missouri Pacific - 60' Flat Car - New Haven - 40' Std Boxcar - Spokane, Portland & Seattle - 40' Boxcar - CP - 40' Flat Car - New Z Scale Turn Outs and Curved Track! - Scrap Iron Load #3 - Note: June Releases will arrive June 10-12 From 4nscale Website NO States Cars this Month! (Wait for July) NO Smokey Bear Cars
I'm sure they will be released in July, but Joe plans to bring a couple down with him to show them off. Be patient.
I hope the above named are the releases since I've already written the Z Scale section of the June UMTRR... ...OK, yeah, they are, I have the June Micro-News in hand.
June MTL Release pictures are now up at: http://www.zscalemonster.com/ and they ready for you to view (High quality images will follow later today).
I may have to bite on the NH car, but it will be a stretch since McGinnis didn't start up these paint jobs till 1954. Course I'm pretty sure it should have a Youngstown door ; )
Ahhh! The 220mm track isn't out until July according to Anthony's site. Is this true since all other new track is now out!?!
Also, Joe D' - will the remote units eventually be made available separately to retro fit existing manual turnouts? Thanks, Joe
According to the Morning Sun Color Guide to the NH, the series 31000 to 32999 was delivered with a mixture of Superior and Youngstown doors. In the guide, the prototype 31728 (MTL's road number) is shown with a Youngstown door but on the preceding page is the 31519 with a Superior door. The six foot door opening is correct. To be fair, though, the prototype NH cars were a 10 foot interior height, not the "usual" 10 foot 6 inches. Scaled down to 1:220, that's a discrepancy of 0.0272... (repeating 27) inch.
Cool, thanks. I'll change out the door. Now about that incorrect Erie boxcar for N scale this month...
