Just Like This Train, Many Gondolas Are Moving!

Sometimes, good things take time. As our customers are aware, we make every effort to produce the most prototypically accurate models possible. That means not making a car until we are satisfied with the tooling for it. That can and will lead to delays in the first release of products, as has occurred with our 4000cf Canadian Coal Gondolas. The cars are now done and are being shipped at this moment. We are confident that once modelers see the finished product, that will agree they are worth the wait.

The response to the N Scale cars has been very positive with many new orders coming in after modelers have seen the finished cars. We thought we'd share what one of our customers said about the N Scale cars:

"Dear PWRS
 
I received my order this morning and I have to say I'm very much impressed with the quality of the cars. As you can see in the attached photos I've already fabricated a removable tie load for the cars.

Cheers
 
Paul"

Below are the pictures he sent in:

As you can see, besides having one heck of a nice looking layout, this customer has some great looking cars. Keep in mind these are the N Scale version. As is evident, we have made every attempt to add unprecedented levels of details to these cars. If the N Scale version looks this good, think how good the HO Scale are going to look.

Now, while the HO Scale cars are shipping, please enjoy some videos of the real cars in action:

Both videos above show not only the large number of cars used in typical unit trains, but also the mix of large numbers of many of the versions of the cars used together. This makes for an interesting, visually distinctive aspect to both trains. This can easily be accomplished with our models by mixing and matching the various version being offered in this release.

Wondering How These Cars Are Used In Real Life?

We have an article we would like to share put together By Norm Skretting with model photos by Timothy J. Horton titled: "Canadian National Coal & Sulphur Operations In The Alberta Foothills", a PDF of the article can be downloaded HERE.
