Buffalo (black body); Canadian National (boxcar red); Canadian
National (boxcar red, wet noodle scheme); Canadian Pacific
(black); and CP Rail (red body with pacman logo).
The prototype of the
new N scale bulk-
head flatcar was built
at Hawker-Siddeley's
Trenton Works in 1974.
Features of the ready-
to-run model include
etched ladders, full
underbody detail with
separate piping; die-
cast frame, and body-mounted Micro-Trains® couplers. Road
names on the initial release will be Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific
(black body, green ends); Canadian National (boxcar red);
CN-ex NAFX (red body); and BCIT-British Columbia Railways.
Availability of the gondola and bulkhead flat car is expected
in the fall. Each road name will be available in six dif-
ferent numbers. Undecorated models will also be avail-
able. All versions will be priced at $32.95 USD each.
