First time ever on the cover of a national magazine!

 

Model Railroad News has made the announcement of my first ever ‘O Scale‘ car a headline cover page story! How exciting and so fun to see! This car is impressive to behold, and I’m sure you’ll agree regardless of the scale.

 

The American Fruit Packers ‘Cascadian‘ label car is being produced by Atlas on their wood ice-reefer body and will be available in the next few weeks. Many have already been pre-sold from my web site. Should this go the way I hope, I will be producing the entire AFP series in the same order that I did in N Scale.

So, my O Scale friends can look at the line-up and see what’s next.

I have other things coming so stay tuned!

I am looking forward to many more releases in the new year. I stayed up really late on Christmas to talk to Santa when he came by our house. I asked him for an n-scale SP&S 700, and he said that was out of his league and I’d better call you.
