Sure will, I like all the road numbers too, makes it MUCH easier to build a sizable fleet (though the price tag scares me, $80 for 3 cars...)

They had quite a few announcements, the 53' button side trailers, F850 trucks...
 


The announcement that surprised me was the MP15AC in the Soo bandit paint scheme. I got an Milw unit to banitize myself. I guess I could have waited!

The $80 price tag isn't too bad really, thats about $23 a car, which is average for athearn RTR list prices.
 
Does anyone make spine cars that dont have the shelf for the trailer wheels? Kinda like a spine car to carry those epic garbage containers.
 
the webside for andersly doesn't work anymore. Those cars are pretty close to the pics i saw the other day. Could always get the regular spine like above and modify them.
 
Andersley closed its doors last year. The NTTX cars he made are rare to fine anymore. Alan was in the process of selling the HO scale line (molds, ect), but as far as I can remember it was out of my "pre-approved" range for a business loan through my bank. I never did ask if he found a buyer, though he said he'd tell us all on the website. My only conclusion can be he found a buyer, and told everyone, and now the site registration has lapsed.
Edit, or Alan just closed the site, it came up as 403 forbidden for me.

was up at the model railway postoffice today to pickup some small detail items. One thing i love about this shop is they go out of the way to find you things. I didn't even ask for them to find this athearn 40ton smooth side hopper. I call to make sure they're open since we got 8" of snow and he says he got it for me to check out. Bought it when we got there.

But anyway, while at the counter this add was printed out and already in there athearn catalog they keep in a 3 ring binder. I may pick up one and try to see if i can modify it to the old nysw version for the epic containers.
