    Hi all,

    as John in the CSX tread already mentioned is a new prototype available from Mark4Design of New Zealand. Highly detailed kit with minimum assembly required. Made, as the box carsbefore, in stereolithography. Amazing fine detailed roof walk and etched breakwheel and steps. No decals inclueded but MTL trucks and coupler. At this stage the airslide hopper and new mechanical reefer are not listed on his page.

    I'll definitely be picking up a couple of these to build up in that exact scheme. Any decals going to be available? I'd love some DRGW.

    It's a shame they are not for grain hauling. If they were I'd snap some up.

    Just to inform you: I have applied for trademark licenses for several roadnames. If they get granted I will be in a position to offer limited runs of decals, stay tuned.

    Gee Gerd,
    I like sweet things, so I guess I will get a couple! Any idea when they might be on the website for purchase?

    Cheers,
    John

    John, you have to email Mark to order the cars, and he will email you with a invoice. The airslide car and the reefer is not on the web, but its available.

    Ray, what kind of decals are you looking for. Most of the time, I adopt them from scale. Sometimes, I have them custom made. It would be easier if you show a picture to show what you want.
