When Rapido Trains introduced their high-end HO Scale model of the Flexi-Flo Covered Hopper, I wondered whether they would be bringing it down to N Scale. Wonder no longer... they are: https://rapidotrains.com/n-scale/freight-cars/acf-flexi-flo-hopper.html This model has been produced before: Roco did it for AHM in the 1970s, though all but one release was for companies that never had them on their roster (the one "sort of" was FMC). Then Eastern Seaboard Models released a set of these cars in all prototypical paint schemes including for the New York Central which owned the vast majority of these cars starting in 1964. Announced MSRP is $44.95 per car. Three and six packs will also be available. No affiliation, but looking forward to this release even if a) they're out of my model railroad's Approximate Time Period by one year b) I already own most of the ESM cars...
