Dear N Scale Customers: we have just taken delivery of the Special Run of the Red Government of Canada Grain Hoppers. Here are pictures of all the different cars. Please note all of these special cars have unique graphics and characteristics. (We only have a few sets left so if you want these unique cars please call and order - we only made 50 sets!)

"Also note the cars will have some of the weight information removed from the cars. This occurred when the US Railway Industry (The AAR) discovered a safely issue resulted from the car having too much weight related information on the side of the car (tare weight, metric weight, and imperial weight). In essence for safety considerations it was decided to remove some of the conflicting weight data to reduce the risk of cars being improperly totaled by American railroad crews who were not familiar with the Metric information on the sides of the cars.

Thus when the crews went out to remove information from the car, the paint they were given to use would not always be the same as the original paint used. In some cases the crews just used what ever color of spray paint was available at that time. You will aloso notice a couple of the cars have yellow and black Bad Order stickers applied as per the original prototype images we have on file for each car"

This will truely be an innovative collectable set for the modeler that wants something unique for his layout. As per all of our other special runs - we at Pacific Western Rail will not re-run these road numbers. And the Art Work is one of a kind.
