The guys from MTL come through again. Talk to Ben at a MTL about making a B&O Chessie system coal car.
I guess they forgot my request for an 8 pack. But take what you can get . : -)
Now all we need is some AZL GP 38 's in Chessie logo Hans

But still no engine . Hint hint hint I don't mean to be the in-house grammarian, but a hint is usually not delivered in the form of an overt request. A hint is something a bit more subtle, perhaps something like: "...but still nothing other than rolling stock. Hint, hint, hint." or "but I still need something to PULL them with. Hint, Hint Hint." or even, "hey, how about something with an engineers' cab on it? hint hint hint" But just a blatant, "Still no engine" really does not require a hint at all. It's pretty obvious that you want an engine. OK, fine - if that's what you REALLY want, I'll get to work on it. ... hold on ... now that I think about it, I already did!   Enjoy, -Rob(A) AZL PS: April Fool! PSS: Or is it? PSSS: Maybe the April Fool bit is the fact I said April Fool and its really coming / real - oh well, I guess the only way to really know is to just wait and see! |

[quote author=" shamoo737" source="/post/3672/thread" timestamp=" Enjoy, -Rob(A) AZLHaving talk to Rob A and Ben in Atlanta, I rather talk to Rob A.[/quote][/ I enjoy talking to both AZL and MTL guys and other Manufacturers of Z scale Products. Plus you got to Joke around and give them a rough time. Although MTL had a turnaround time of probably seven months on Coal car. As for the chessie photo Rob it's a GP 30 that you guys have yet to produce. It's been over a year and yet no Chessie system engine or second run on GP 30's . Good God my grandmother moves around faster if she was still around. :- )) P.S keep up good work AZL guys . Just little faster Rob hint,hint,hint ,hint, sorry keyboard stuck |

A hint can be a subtle as a hand grenade in your shorts too.

But take what you can get . : -) I wouldn't label it as a "new" coal car. It's just MTL's version of it. Full Throttle has produced both 2-bay and 3-bay B&O CHESSIE coal cars... to include a much nicer Hays Brothers' coal load. Yes... long sold out. They were available as 4-packs. |

It reminds me of AZL when they released the first heavy weights passenger cars in B&O they went quick too . As did there Chessie System caboose. I think AZL would Produce few more than just a handful or is there more Chessie and B&O fans out there than they Realize .As for Hays Brothers make a great looking coal load. They also make a load to replace the one in MTL coal cars. And a little birdie told me that in the near future there's going to be some more Chessie coal to be released Bob |
