PWRS/NARC HO Scale Hopper cars

[thecanadianrail]

Well idk if any of you have heard of them, but they are probably the highest detailed freightcars avalable for purchase on the market for a limited time right now. I ordered 13 of the cars, and they just came in the mail today! I got 6 CNWX hoppers (4 Red/Black, 2 Brown with grain in middle), 2 CPWX hoppers (both brown with grain on right side of car), 2 ALPX hoppers (Pincher Creek, and Penhold heritage cars), and 3 SKNX hopper cars (2 old style of sask hoppers, 1 new green sask hopper). Note that the green saskatchewan hopper is a specal edition car, reads on the side "Saskatchewan Grain Car Corporation / North American Railcar Corporation....." and "THIS CAR EQUIPPED WITH KADEE # 58 COUPLERS" the real version did read that aswell! http://static.pwrs.ca/product_images/184065_1.jpg

If they're fully labelled, that'd be an awesome painting reference... feel like doing a gallery?

I don't get it. How come the real one had "THIS CAR EQUIPPED WITH KADEE # 58 COUPLERS" on it? Was it advertising for the model couplers?

the car is real, check the link out: http://www.pwrs.ca/client_services/rese ... ubLounge=1 it cost me $40 for the car, but only if i bought 12 others.... now the second one you can only get using points you earn from other purchases, not for regular sale!

NARC and Saskachewan grain car corp got together and NARC got the rights to be the only one to produce the green car in a model, plus Sask made a few specal cars like this one, plus one that has a plack on it...see: http://www.pwrs.ca/client_services/rese ... ubLounge=1

you can only get these cars as a Pacific Western RailSystem member (Porters), and you must buy 12 of the PWRS/NMRC to be able to get the specal Sask cars. (there are regular green Sask cars avalable but they don't come out for 2 months from now)
