Blackstone announced they’re taking pre-orders for new runs of the Rio Grande’s basic all-around 6000-series 30’ flat car and the versatile 800-series drop bottom gons (or coal cars [;)]).Six new road numbers of each, un-weathered only.
Both will be here in May 2014, so orders are probably due in fairly soon. Consult your favorite dealer or Blackstone’s website for more.
Things have been a little slow lately at Blackstone, but it’s really just given many of us who love 'em a breather to catch up. With the K-28 and K-36 locos due late in 2014, it’s shaping up to be a great year for HOn3.
