Hi,
I'm just now getting into Z but one of the things that appealed to me was the announcement I saw about your Corn Syrup 17.600 gallon tank cars. Are those still planned for release? They are key to the locale I model...I will probably buy every one of them that you produce. Thanks!

I actually received an answer from AZL via e-mail....they are definitely still planned and probably will appear "in the spring". :-D

Not sure what all is set in stone at this point, but I have some thoughts about the Corn Syrup cars... Schemes You Are Showing at the NTS 2015: -LSI, Domino Sugar -GATX Spartan, TruSweet -Cargill Foods "Corn Sweeteners" -Cargill Foods "Corn Syrup" -ADM Molecule, ADM Leaf -Thiele, Procor, OMYA -Black/Yellow Car on Top??? (guessing a foobie sulfur car) To be quite honest, those last four (Thiele, Procor, OMYA, Black/Yellow) are at best very loose stand-ins and more likely serious foobies that I hope either never see the light of day or are WAAAAYYY down the list and behind even some schemes not seen in your photo. I'll concede that the foobie sulfur car might do well, (but fix the yellow, it's more pale yellow than the yellow-orange in the photo) and there are some Procor cars (different scheme though) that are close. I realize that you guys are more like Micro-Trains than Atlas in your adherence to legit schemes, but I just hope some really popular schemes like the cool MCP cars don't get pushed out to a decade later. Among the other "legit" schemes? (gleaned from Atlas releases) -Minnesota Corn Processors -Corn Products -GATX Blue Circle Logo -Casco -ADM Sunflower Logo "Corn Sweeteners" -Cargill White Spartan And if you're looking for "close stand-ins" consider the following: -Tate & Lyle -HOKX 112xxx Series -DOWX 720xx Series -SP As you probably know, these cars are paramount to my layout. My priority list is as follows: -ADM Leaf -Tate & Lyle -Cargill Foods "Corn Sweeteners" -Minnesota Corn Processors -ADM Molecule -Cargill Foods "Corn Syrup" And I would also buy: -GATX Spartan -Cargill White Spartan -HOKX 112xxx Series -DOWX 720xx Series Read more: azlforum.com/thread/527/nts-portland-2015?page=3&scrollTo=4726#ixzz3kPhx2mcf |

Well, I won't be disappointed regardless of what happens. Just wanted to put in my two cents. :-)
