[JBBVry]

PSC/MMI also has a K-27 arriving any day now. They are also announcing 8 other locomotives available for reservations, including 2-8-0s, 2-8-2s, 0-6-0, and 4-4-0. See http://psc1.virtualfocus.com/ for details. Don't know for sure how many or when all these will actually be produced, but I'm reserving a 4-4-0 in hopes.

Blackstone is producing a new box car and stock car that should be available this summer. See http://www.blackstonemodels.com/products.htm.

MicroTrains has a new release of an HOn3 car about every other month.

All the above are RTR. There are still many car and structure kit available, with new ones being released frequently.

HOn3

I had heard that Athern had bought out MDC/Round and may release some of the HOn3 engines under the Athern name. I can't rember the name of the company, but someone was going to be releasing a remake of the old Spartan Mogal.

that all sounds great I do hope somone will come out with some good stuff at a good price. not everyone can pay 400+ for one engine.

HOn3

I hope so too. Some of the HOn3 stuff can get pricey. There is train show in Helana Mt. in about a week. Last year there was a dealer from Oragon and I bought a brass HOn3 Mogel (Spartan) for $100. For about $30 worth of detail parts from Walthers, I had really nice looking engine. If she is there this year I will get her address and send it to you. Last year she had about 10-12 HOn3 brass and her prices were very reasonable.
