will be offered in all road names with the exception of NJ
Transit. A-units will have an MSRP of $119.95 each. B-units
will list at $114.95. InterMountain reports that since the
previous run of F-units significant increases in manufactur-
ing costs have forced them to raise MSRPs on future produc-
tion releases. Our report on F7 models expected in Oct/Nov
reflects the new prices.
Also coming from InterMountain in Oct/Nov is a new
production run of a 50' AAR double-door steel boxcar.
Reruns with six new road numbers will include cars deco-
rated for Southern Pacific, Western Pacific (feather her-
ald), KCS
(“Southern Belle” slogan),
and Lehigh Valley.
New road names include Pere Marquette, Nickel Plate
Road, Penn Central, and Milwaukee Road. The N scale
ready-to-run models have an MSRP of $22.95 each.
