Hello All; The NARROW GAUGE NATIONALS are only a few days away and we can only hope that B'mann kept something back to announce at this BIG show. This would be the perfect time and place to give us a Heisler and some new cars. We can only hope  and anticipate! Jim

Hello; The Favorite Spot has them available today, too. Jim

Hello again; I just checked the listings at WALTHERS and they have five part numbers in stock today for the railbus and trailer models.  YEA,Jim

Hello All; If the busses have arrived, how come no one is showing them in stock? You would think that somebody would try to get the jump on the market at this point if they are on the shelves. The silence is deafening! jim

Guys; The NATIONAL NARROW GAUGE CONVENTION ( Sept. 10-13 ) is not that far off. They may have saved an item or two for then. At least we can ANTICIPATE!! jim

Hello All; Let's hope for some frameless tank cars,too! Jim

Hello all; I bought the last of the BEARTRAP STACKS from WISEMAN several months ago. He said then that he was not going to get any more for stock. I would still like to have another one or two, myself. Jim

Dear Mr. B;    C&S sure would be appreciated by many of us, that have purchased the other C&S rolling stock. Thanks in advance, Jim                                                                                                   

Dear Bach-man; My C&S highside came yesterday and I was just notified today, that the CHRISTMAS car is on the way, too! It sure is CHRISTMAS in October! Thanks, again; Jim

Thanks,jayl1; How about it MR. BACH MAN; I've looked on several shops web site since jayl1's post. RIDGEROAD STATION, CABOOSE HOBBIES & TRAINWORLD all still have not listed the C&S highside to be in stock, yet. Where did you get your jayl1, if you don't mine my asking. Thanks, Jim

Dear Bach-Man; Now that we are into October, and still no C&S high sides are out in the dealers yet; can you get an update on the status of this car? Thanks again, Jim

To shayman and THE BACH MAN;  I too, would like to see a C&S reefer added to the consist of cars available. The C&S cars from MICRO-TRAIN for HOn3 are all steel underframe (without truss rods), so maybe the car we have to work with is not just right for the prototype. I'd still but them if they were offered to us in On30. I have the truss rod models in G gauge, and they work for me. I did purchase an undec. and plan to decal it with the large C&S block letters when I can find them. Still looking for that highside gondola  for September. Thanks, Jim

Dear BACH-MAN; Thanks for the news; I just couldn't figure out why these cars were not in somebodys inventory. September is good to know and I would still like to see a C&S reefer, please. Thanks again, Jim

Dear BACH-MAN; Now would be good for me! Nobody has them in stock and I have beat the bushes, looking for them. I have some on order with a dealer that always has the latest issues and at great prices to boot. They told me that they don't know when anything is coming until it arrives. I can see the Christmas car not being out yet, although I have purchased them in G scale in June, before! Jim

Yes, I know that several dealers have them as pre-order , meaning that they don't have them as of yet and as I said, one dealer lists them for December. Yes, high side gondolas are available in some roadnames, but the topic of my original post was Colorado & Southern, so no, I don't think that you just bought one, Sir! I know that we (3 ft. Colorado narrow gauge) modelers are fighting a losing battle, looking for locos and rolling stock lettered for any Colorado line. So, when anything is listed to be released, I can't wait for it to be available. The East Coast pulpwood cars came out of nowhere, announced by our friends across the pond, first. Other car were listed before them, and have not made it out yet. Just the luck of the draw, I guess. Jim
