Among the news for November, Micro-Trains announces its entry into the H0n3 market with a ready-to-run reefer. I think that is exciting news, though we still have to wait till spring. Together with MMI's relatively affordable engines, I can see a chance for a nice collection of my favorites.
Now, if someone could come up with a set of snap tracks!

Is there more info on the 'Net somewhere? Maybe their web site?
Something like this could really ignite growth in that scale.
:D

That's pretty cool. RTR HOn3 would be a huge market for them. I bet they already have a whole line of cars lined up to be modelled, they just haven't announced them yet.
I had a plastic HOn3 kit years ago that had a million grab iron holes to be drilled. I think that kit may have been the one thing that made me wonder if I really wanted to do HOn3, too many freaking holes to drill! lol
