Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I was very happy to see the CMW ad in the new Model Railroader indicating that their next series of buses the GM Old Style are due for release. It was not too long ago that they released the Trailways version of their GM buses. The bus station on my layout certainly is not lacking any buses.

CMW sure has been busy lately having released their 1950 Dodge cars not long ago and will be releasing the 1953 Ford Squire station wagons and the 1954 Dodge cars in the not too distant future.

As I am modeling the early 1950’s I for one will be waiting in line to buy as they are released.

Now if only they could produce a late 1960s Eagle 0-1!

Took a look at Classic Metal Works’ website. The Trailways coach is a classy looking beauty!

…and I’ve been searching for the past 10 years to find the APM version, and paying $30+ and shipping.

…plus factoring in a strip and repaint…

It would also be nice to see some more late 30’s and mid 40’s vehicles.

After all the transition is the most popular period.

Lots available for late transition, not so much for early transition.

Have you looked at Sylvan Scale and Sheepscott Scale Products for 30s and 40s vehicles? They are resin kits.
