Any word on projected price? Or whether the dreadnaught ends and Youngstown doors will be an option? Red Cabooses have dried up. Sure would be nice not to have to re-number these etc for head end...

The rivits etc look pretty heavy on the pic on their web site. Wonder if these are the old Train Miniature molds with some (?) modifications. The ladders look molded on - not sure about the grabs but...

The dead giveaway is the brake wheel and the roof walk thickness. Wonder what they did with the old TM stuff, I guess we are about to find out again. Didn't they issues these cars 10 years back or so...

If you go to the Walthers website and pull up the picture of the Gold Line X-29, and the picture of the Trainline X-29 you'll see they are the same picture. Looks like Walthers took an existing photo...

Well, it should be of no surprise to anyone that this is the same old Walthers Car (nee-Train Minature) that we all grew up with. One surprising change was that they actually came to the Modeling...

Hyph-O is watching, and wants that hyphen ("-", or little "minus" sign) OUT of this discussion of the PRR Class X29! It just doesn't belong! Thanks for understanding, Hyph-O

At the suggested price, you can be sure they're not new tooling or if so, very simplified. Since I already have quite a few RC versions of the car, I'd hate to throw these into the mix. I'll wait for...

Sorry about the hyphen. I grew up watching the New Haven which operated the FLhyphen9 and EPhyphen5 into Penn Station, (where I got to see the inside of a GGhyphen or not1). The NH would usually have...

Interesting concept,"The Hyphen Police" are watching! More "homeland security" proceedures at work here? Before I say "you need to get a life", let me say you are absolutley right about it doesnt...

The Red Caboose web site shows, under future releases, CGW and LNE X29s with side sill patch panels. No mention of one in PRR livery. (By the way, Red Caboose uses the hyphen!)

Then Red Caboose is incorrect.For those of you who think we're being too anal about this hyphen business, let me remind you that if a lie is repeated enough times, it becomes fact. What we're trying...

SO...anybody have a read on when the X29 is going to be re-released by Red-Caboose? Ben Hom did an article that I have somewhere about upgrades to the WKW/Trainline/ TM car and it does bring them...
