They were due in September. No sign of them anywhere.
Can you give us an updated arrival date?

Dear NYC,
I believe they're on the way, but I'll double-check.
Have fun!

 I know they are not real, but will any of them be chrome?

I too am waiting for these cars.

I have fifteen of the new 10,000 gallon cars so in my opinion its time for some new roadnames and or numbers. I have all 3 of the Spartan oil cars, my information shows that there were no more.

One small detail concerning the Frontenac cars, the reporting marks on the cars are different on the sides and ends of the cars. I had to renumber the ends. The numbers should match I would think.

The Simonin cars look great (especially with a little bit of weathering( , I'm looking forward to a long cut of these cars. The cars have great detail, perhaps Bachmann would consider factory weathering on these new cars, it really does bring out the detail !!

I got three ordered to start with, the PQX,TROX,and CCBX... It looks like the number font used for the PQX car is easy enough to change numbers.

I'll probably try to convert a couple to 2 dome cars. Its nice to have some raw material to work with. I like the style of dome on the bachmann car , I don't think this one has been done before.

It would really be great if someone would make 2 dome tank cars. As far as I know, no one does. I think they would be popular. This is a not so subtle hint.

Not to mention 4 dome and 6 dome cars.
