Among the news for November, Micro-Trains announces its entry into the H0n3 market with a ready-to-run reefer. I think that is exciting news, though we still have to wait till spring. Together with MMI's relatively affordable engines, I can see a chance for a nice collection of my favorites. Now, if someone could come up with a set of snap tracks!
Is there more info on the 'Net somewhere? Maybe their web site? Something like this could really ignite growth in that scale. Boxcab E50
That's pretty cool. RTR HOn3 would be a huge market for them. I bet they already have a whole line of cars lined up to be modelled, they just haven't announced them yet. I had a plastic HOn3 kit years ago that had a million grab iron holes to be drilled. I think that kit may have been the one thing that made me wonder if I really wanted to do HOn3, too many freaking holes to drill! lol
Yeah, that's definitely not my kind of excitement either. I don't mind that much adding grab irons when there are predrilled holes that fit. But RTR really fills the bill. Maybe some aging will still be required for these ancient prototypes, I'd assume.
With all the talk of Micro-Trains (possibly) exiting HOn3 (or at least not creating new models), I'm dragging this old thread out and asking the question: Did Micro-Trains create their own HOn3 molds or did they buy them from someone else and if they bought them, who from? I seem to recall hearing that they boght them but I could be wrong. Andy Tetsu Uma
