Re: CB&Q SM-18 36' stock car

Re: Hornby 2022/23

Hornby TT seems to be popping up on a few more German shop sites for pre-orders - some full range, some partial range. None seem to mention delivery times as yet.

Re: voyttek's layout

Looks really great. What Tillig trucks did you use on this? Another project I have to get back on my workbench.

Re: 33' 2 bay offset hopper

Back in the distant past (2017) when I first started the coal hopper project, the original idea was to do six versions of the 33' cars.
