Re: CB&Q SM-18 36' stock car
My kits arrived yesterday. Look really good, but will go on back-burner at present as I'm fighting time to work on my " Montour Mine No4 " layout for a show in (the other) Victoria at Easter.

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

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.
