Dear N Scale Modelers: Update

Last night we went over to Timothy Horton's and took high res images of all the production samples of the new National Steel Car Potash cars. We really wanted to get clear close ups of all the features.

Tim has a great diorama that has been used in the past for various magazine covers. So we placed some of the Canpotex N Scale cars on it for a staged shot.

Have a look atthe detail. Those are N Scale cars not HO Scale! This is our commitment to raise the bar for N Scalers.

Sorry for the wide image but we wanted to get everything in the shot for you to see.

 

Last week China sent us our first painted and decorated N Scale National Steel Car Potash Cars. Far many months now we have been explaining how nearly the same amount of money was being spent to create the N Scale cars as the HO cars.

Below you will see images we took at the NMRA Show in Portland. A couple of the large layouts were kind enough to allow us to take some images for you.

Can you tell the difference? Which images are N Scale and which are HO Scale?

We want our N Scale customers to know, you are getting 100% of all the details the HO guys are getting.

A friend of ours (who works for another major manufacturer, and is responsible for research and design) took a sample of the N Scale car back to his booth to closely examine the car.

He later said to us...."I realize what it takes to make an N Scale car with this much detail. The 6 different structural variations are incredible. I don't think many of the average model railroaders walking around in this room, realize what you have pulled off. I only wish the company I work for would allow us to make cars like this....I'm jealous."

A reminder for all customers:

We are only making a smaller qty (less than 100) copies of the special 5,000 Canpotex - National Steel Car Commorative Car. Make sure you log into your PORTERS account and place your order. We will not reprint the car.

 

 

One final note:

All of you are aware by now of the Special 2015 NMRA Canpotex Portland Convention Car. We will need to know by Sept 30th how many of you want a copy of this unique car. If you want one, make sure you get your order in by the deadline.

We have additional images and video coming from Model Railroad Hobbyist in a few day from our trip to the Port of Longview, Washington on Monday. Stay Tuned for more on this next week.
