    Whatever it is, you won't be able to run it on your layouts until Summer 2013 :)

    Saw this as well on FB...I don't have a clue...I'm going to guess that it's another 'modern' release, as BLMA's emphasis seems to be modern..(GORGEOUS stuff!...of course they jump into the market AFTER I make the decision to model the 50's!)
    Perhaps a ribbon/welded rail car?

    Just give me the 89' flat cars I have pre-ordered and I will be happy, for at least a couple days!

    Diesel flavored pipe tobacco? Aw probably not so my guess is for etched pipe racks for either gondola or flat.

    Better to take the time to make it right, than to rush and have a half-arsed car out the door.

    They have to announce it 18 months in advance so they beat Exactrail's announcement by a few weeks.

    PS-I, for one, don't mind advance announcements/notice at all...not quite sure why anyone would want to 'snipe' at an announcement...curious....

    Mr Fisher, i have to agree with Metro Red Line, the time from announcement to delivery is getting crazy.
    I also think your comment to him is out of line. As a customer, he has a right to state his opinion. As a rep for the mfg, you need to stay neutral and take his comments in stride.

    yes, getting it right is a good thing. Waiting for years is another....I gave up on pre-orders since I have changed eraswhile waiting on pre-orders

    Pipe flats would be great, BTW. :)

    Would a variant of a car they are already making take that long to get to market? Would something as seemingly simple as pipe racks for the existing car take that long? But I guess they have other things in the works that would be ahead of even seemingly simple projects. I say it's another gondola.
