Dear N Scale Customers:

We just received word from Micro Trains that they will be shipping us the just completed 12 car set of Richardson Tank Cars.

We have one important secret we are now allowed to publish regarding these cars. You will have noticed that we made 3 different 4 car sets. One set with SHQX reporting marks, one set with GATX reporting marks, and a third set with PROX Procor reporting marks.

The third set will have half of the cars with large white "PROCOR" lettering. You will see below, a prototype image of a car with large Procor lettering. In our effort to do the cars as prototypically correct as possible we decided to add these graphics, as per our photographic evidence on hand.

Remember there are only a few complete sets left so if you want a complete set make sure you get your order in right away!

 The Official Micro Trains SKU numbers for the individual cars in the set are (for purposes of collectors):

  110 91 021  –  car 1  PROX 78520
  110 92 021  –  car 2  PROX 78532
