The End of 2019 is Upon Us!

Well 2019 is almost over and it's damn cold outside, the ding-dang wind is howling and somebody shared their blasted head-cold with yours truly. Thanks for that kindness!

Only reason I'm even writing this is that the USPS person brought a box from New York City for the Arizona Southern to fondle. In it were 2 InterMountain peaked roof high cube boxcars, one SP and one SSW. They were ordered many months ago and slated for year end delivery, so at least the manufacturing sectors deliveries are mostly back on track it seems after the big snafu of months past.

The only other new freight car to come our way came from a friend's private collection, something he was thinning out and I figured it would be a good fit on the AZSO. This one is an Athearn Genesis car.

None of the 3 new cars have been to our shops yet, I can see some tweaks are in order.










Thanks for reading this far, have a safe and happy 2020! 

Enjoy Your Trains!
