This just in -- Patrick Harris, of the Three Notch Rail FB group, who did the special run of SNR 3-bays earlier this year, has just announced a run of Accurail Centerflow 4600sf covered hoppers, factory decorated for the Suffolk Northern. Patrick's FB page is at https://www.facebook.com/groups/4133403420112674.
If you are interested, we need to act fast -- in 24 hours, almost half the run has been reserved! Details follow.
The design uses the SNR's 1968 multi-mark, which graces the Evans boxcars many of you modernist guys have running around, with the same Futura font. If you're curious how the SNR's signature hexagon ended up 7' tall and time-warped into the future, check out Suffolk Northern Ry.: Evolution of the Herald.
The run will include two road numbers, and the build date is 1975. Price is $28 per car, plus shipping. The expected production date is late December to early January.
👉As with the 3-bays, I will cover shipping in a big box for Cincinnati-area guys, COD, but I need to hear back ASAP, best by this Monday Nov. 11. 👈
For non-Cincinnati fans in the "SNR Nation" (really more like the "SNR Bus"!), you can pre-order them directly from Patrick's FB page. You can also email Patrick at ThreeNotchRail@outlook.com. Again, run don't walk -- inexplicably, they are going like hotcakes.
If you've ever played Monopoly with me, you probably expect I'm making money on this somehow.😄 But no -- it's just quite an honor to see interest in the SNR at this level.
Thanks folks for all the interest and support!
