We now have about 25 different freight cars including the two caboose. We are not going to stop at that. It is rare that we do not have at least 2 freight cars under development which basically translate into two new freight cars a year.
And there will be more box cars and reefers. Our locomotives span from 1920s USRA Mikados up until today. They need something to pull! And there are a lot of holes to fill and we intend to do just that.
Sincerely, Hans

I am just saying boxcars don't sell well. How well did the high cube and the beer cars sell. Both were part of the Black Friday specials. So they didn't do all that well. If AZL doesn't do well on a car, it means we will see less cars that we want in the future. So I do I a interest on how well AZL do financially.

My wallet is safe for now. I have always wondered about the loads on those 89' flat cars; is it just me or are the loads way out of scale? The cars look nice but the loads just don't look right. Not being critical; just an observation. Hi Dave, the loads are perfectly in scale. The 89' flat cars are relatively long and narrow compared to the loads, so maybe its just an optical illusion. Buy one and see! Best regards, Andy |
