Just Like This Train, Many Gondolas Are Moving!

Our HO Scale North American Railcar Corporation 4000cf Canadian Coal Gondolas are here. Today, we are unloading 600 cases of these at our warehouse. As our staff will be busy unloading, unpacking and putting these into stock, we ask any local customers call before stopping by to ensure we have staff available to assist you.

One of 2 pallots containing 600 cases of gondolas

While the pallots will be fully unloaded today, placing all the cars in stock will take time. Once this is done we will start filling existing orders for our customers with order going out to Canadian customers. United States and international customer orders will be filled after stock is transferred to our United States warehouse.

While these took longer than expected to produce, that was the price for accuracy. We feel our customers will believe it was worth the wait to get the correct car. The response to the N Scale cars has certainly been very positive. We thought we'd share what one of our customers said about the N Scale cars:

"Dear PWRS
 
I received my order this morning and I have to say I'm very much impressed with the quality of the cars. As you can see in the attached photos I've already fabricated a removable tie load for the cars.

Cheers
 
Paul"

Below are the pictures he sent in:

As you can see, besides having one heck of a nice looking layout, this customer has some great looking cars. Keep in mind these are the N Scale version. As is evident, we have made every attempt to add unprecedented levels of details to these cars. If the N Scale version looks this good, think how good the HO Scale are going to look.

Now, while we unload the HO Scale cars, please enjoy some videos of the real cars in action:

Both videos above show not only the large number of cars used in typical unit trains, but also the mix of large numbers of many of the versions of the cars used together. This makes for an interesting, visually distinctive aspect to both trains. This can easily be accomplished with our models by mixing and matching the various version being offered in this release.

Wondering How These Cars Are Used In Real Life?

We have an article we would like to share put together By Norm Skretting with model photos by Timothy J. Horton titled: "Canadian National Coal & Sulphur Operations In The Alberta Foothills", a PDF of the article can be downloaded HERE.
