    Shane at ScaleTrains told me to expect 3 new non-locomotive models in addition to the just-announced Tier-4 GE locomotive discussed on the other thread. They are being hush-hush about details on these new models, but I am happy to see they saw enough success with their launch into N Scale that new products are being actively developed and rolled out. I believe he mentioned two of the three models would be freight cars. The third....?

    PS I added my photo of the Tier4 to the other thread so folks can see what it looks like.

    I'll take a wild guess and say the 3 will be...
    Greenbrier (Gunderson) 5188 Covered Hopper
    4566cf Airslide® Covered Hopper
    4180cf Airslide® Covered Hopper

    I hope they announce the N Scale 5188 soon. That is going to be a great seller. I'll get some more to stretch out my BNSF Earthworms.

    Has anyone received any of these 5188 hoppers? The BNSF ones are sold out at Scale Trains and I can't find an etailer that has any record of them.

    Mine arrive at my house tomorrow. I saw some in person at Lombard Hobbies in Chicago a few minutes ago. They are beautiful. Now if only ST could start using a smaller coupler...
