Has anyone seen or got one of the new Accurail Fowler box cars? I'm wondering how prototypical they are in regards to modeling the CNR types.

I monitor both of these on a regular basis and just wonder if anyone else has a good place to search.  I'm more than a bit nervous about eBay given the price of some offerings there and the rather sparse descriptions often given items.  I'm looking for moderate size rodded locomotives but particularly for logging (either geared or rodded) in standard gauge HO.  Many places I used to look appear to be out of business or at best very inactive.

I have been reading about factories shutting down in China and people say why don't we move production back to the US.

But what ever happened to the time when we went to the hobby shop bought a box of parts and assembled our own kit ??

US manufacturers can shoot the parts and sell kits, but would you by a kit and assemble your own freight car?

Almost all of my freight cars have been assembled from kits, lets get back to modeling !!

Have a video of the updated On30 Bachmann Mogul.

Am sure the question is "Is the updated version worth the price?"

Having done the conversion on an analog, price-wise:
