Accurail announced at Trainfest production of an Offset Twin Bay Hopper kit in HO scale for many roads including the Frisco. Very little info was provided with the exception of the stock # which will be 7708 and the MSRP which will be $13.98. Delivery is expected in December. At this price point one would assume that this model will have cast on details and one road #. Accurail does offer a separate decal detail sheet for those wanting additional road #'s. http://www.accurail.com/accurail/7700.htm Another nifty offering that I was unaware they offered is a realistic coal load that has a ball bearing cast into it so that it can be lifted off of the car with an available magnet tool. They have versions available for other manufacturers also. http://www.accurail.com/accurail/coalload.htm
Thanks for the info Bob! I just looked at the web-site. They also have several different Frisco models of rolling stock in their Overstock section. Here is the direct link: http://www.accurail.com/accurail/Overstock.htm Their pricing is greatly reduced - worth a look. Bob McKeighan Lenexa, KS
Thanks Bob: Would one of the experts on fidelity look at the three boxcars offered and say if they are correct. I understand in advance they don't have separtely applied grabirons, roofwalk, etc.
