It would seem to me that we are in dire need for some 1940-1950 type Steel and Wood Side Ice Reefers, early covered hoppers and single an triple dome tanks to haul over the upcoming PRR Horseshoe Curve route. Box cars, stock cars, coal hoppers and flat cars we got, thanks to both the new route and Michael Stephens, but they need to be complemented by a little diversity.

along with the Golden Age stuff i bet you didn't know about BritKits specal sets did you? they include ATSF and GN. the sets include boxcars, reefers, flatcars, gondolas, tank cars, open hoppers, and closed hoppers! (boxcars have wood and steel variants)

I have posted a bunch of screen shots of Brit Kits reefers from time to time if you want to go search them out. They come both with the hatches closed and open.

While I won't go into whats all on the project table, there's plenty coming up from BLLW in the future here, and hopefully at a faster pace than before. Due to wanting to avoid direct competition, I have canned some ideas, but still have plenty to work with, including some that will really bring more playability.

For the hopper fleet, one item I will mention is BLLW's Keystone Legends Series H21as, available in era-specific liveries, and varying loads (Coal or iron ore). For late 50's operation, I recommend the PRR Set from Golden Age of Railroading, with PRR's G39 and G39A ore gennies (these were built to replace aging H21as already nearing their age limits), X58, X50 and N8 Cabin Cars in five PRR liveries ( As-Delivered Circle keystone, Shadow Keystone (Standard version and Yellow Cupola "inter-Divisional"), Early 60's Focal Orange, and PRR simplified.

For Motive power, Cesar pach already has one PRR FA-FB set.
