If anyone in the MRH universe is at the Atlanta, GA 2013 NMRA convention, it would be great if you could let us know here of any new products or services of interest to model railroaders. I know most of this kind of news will be at the National Train Show nest weekend (July 19-21), but if you catch anything before then, please pass it along. 

I would guess that Joe Fugate and the rest of the MRH gang will have reports for the next issue (Aug.) of MRH magazine, but earlier is better.

Some of the hobby manufaturers have already pre-announced--for example ExactRail is coming out with 2 new cars--a Bethlehem 3483 Hopper in Rio Grande and several other road names as weell as a Thrall 54 foot Coil Shield Coil car. ​https://www.exactrail.com/model-railroad-blog .

Any others come to mind?
