    OK, so we're having a little fun with our latest announcement - per the usual.

    Our N Scale, Trinity 3-Unit 53' Spine Cars will return in early 2014, with six unique road numbers. These models will feature pre-assembled hitches, re-designed 33" metal wheels with front and back profile, and a plethora of details.

    See additional information here: http://www.blmamodels.com/blog

    Thanks for looking!

    Pretty funny there Craig!

    Glad to hear about the new run of cars! Count me in for a set!

    But we need some BNSF Refers too!

    When it comes to intermodal cars, I have no spine.
    Put me down for all six!

    I noticed that much of BLMA's modern prototypes are railcars manufactured by Trinity: The 5-unit spine cars, the 3-unit spine cars and the 64' reefers.
    I wondered if there was an agreement or connection where BLMA got the dimensions and other manufacture data from the prototype manufacturer (nothing wrong with that, I think that's pretty cool if that were true).

    If that's the case, I'm wondering if BLMA will eventually make the Trinity intermodal well cars, since NO ONE is making those in either scale...

    Thanks for these additional cars, just enough to complete my Z train.
    But we need also some trailers for them. Any project on your side?
    And yes, as already written to you some months ago, I also need some BNSF reefers and now after reading the post of Metro Red Line .... also some Trinity intermodal well cars
    Thanks for helping us to have great trains on our layouts

    I have to agree that we need more choices on the 53' well cars... I've been waiting for the DI 53' maxi-stacks IV's for what seems like forever.

    I've pretty much given up on waiting for these especially sense Kato has the market cornered on Maxi 4's.

    Yeah, I have quite a few Kato sets, I like the DI cars since there going to made from metal. But it would be nice if somebody made the new TTX logo for 53' cars.

    DI should just modify the tooling slightly and make single-unit 53' cars...I see them on the rails all the time but no one has them modeled.
