    Hi Guys: Anyone have some cool web sites / Pics etc,etc on Coal operations. I am thinking with all the DI cars and with Kato coming out with their units I want to add a coal unit train to my layout.

    You might want to try this site out, Wyoming Coal. Kind of interesting stuff.

    Kato announced in June they are doing the BethGon (yes the same ones that deLuxe Innovations and LBF have already done). It has been posted on their site for about a month and were also on the back cover of the last issue of N Scale Railroading.

    At least one distributor is convinced the announcement with part numbers will be made either next Monday or the following. My bet, the following Monday is the day, since we'll be on the road in Austin. Time will tell.

    They are doing them in 8-car packs. BNSF(deep green/aluminum?), CSX, NS, & UP.

    Side Note: Hiroshi bought some of the d.I./FNS loads for the d.I. cars from us in Houston the day before announcing they were doing them. I'm hoping that they will include decent loads and be priced reasonably.
