Duncan & List-
A friend of mine went to the Hobby Show and the RPM meet here in Chicago. He
picked up a photocopy
of new products from Branchline Trains. Sometime down the road, they will be
doing an 80' heavyweight
coach, one of the roads will be the Q. Their first offerings will be some
Pullmans, none of the roads listed were Q.
The cars will have full interiors, wire grabs, choice of trucks, metal wheels,
etc, etc, etc. List price will be
$39.95. It wasn't listed, but I think they will be doing baggage cars and RPO's
also. Along with the upcoming
Walther's cars, this should solve at least some problems for Q passenger
consists. Intermountain is supposed to be doing
the kitchen troop cars, also. You can access Branchline's website at
branchline-trains.com, the last update was
9/29, so there aren't any photos of the passenger cars as yet, just a written
description. Can't wait!
