Seven of the paint schemes will come in 6 new road numbers. The Grain Train will be a re-run of the most popular 4 road numbers.
Cylindrical Covered Hopper / Trough Hatch
This freight car will be available as an un-decorated kit ($11.50) and in 8 paint schemes ($26.95), one of which is new (Santa-Fe -ex-Koppel / blue paint scheme). With the exception of the ATSF and Ferrocarriles Nacionales de Mexico models, all the cars represent Canadian road names.
More Metal Wheel sets
With the exception of the undecorated models, all models will come equipped with metal wheel sets, a trend InterMountain continues to embrace. Other features will include etched metal roof walks and sharp painting and lettering.
