BLMA is doing Top Gons in HO Scale!! Hubert who???
Doug
Yeah, that's not going to go over well, I talked to Frank at a trainshow in Timonium in the Spring and he said they were just going into production for his Top Gons. . . . given BLMA's previous submissions, I'd go with BLMA over Hubert's any day of the week.
I saw this posted on another forum and I thought "There's no way BLMA would make an NS car. They'll probably make a BNSF or UP reefer instead." Turns out I was wrong and I'll now be some serious financial trouble when these cars come out. :D
FWIW, here's the official ad: http://www.pbase.com/tracktime/image/100319975
The classes being made are G85Rs, G86Rs, and the elusive G88Rs (only 20 built). Here are shots of each of these three classes.
