Anyone own any yet ? If so what do you think? These are a new company model.
These were produced well over a year ago in PRR/DRGW/Southern roadnames, they are finally doing the PC lettered version.
The PRR cars were lettered incorrectly and the manufacturer did nothing to fix that problem except to charge the buyer for correcting decals that should have been free.
The cars are extremely well done, I have built some of the kits which require some prior difficult kit building as there are no instructions just parts diagrams.

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
That's too bad about the no assembly instructions, Rick. While I haven't put it together yet, assembly instructions for Tangent's undecorated bay window steel caboose kits are available for download from their website. It's 39 pgs long and VERY detailed with ample photos.

Arrowhead is about 4 years old. They announced IIRC the first run of Committee Design 3-bay hoppers in 2018, but they didn't ship until a couple years later. I've got all 24 numbers of the D&RGW version a couple years ago. Since then Arrowhead has offered a few runs of the Greenville Railgon gondolas and a run of the CF4600 covered hopper, so far only in yellow C&NW. So this announcement is the 2nd run of th 3-bay Committee Design hopper, this time in PC.

I noticed that their motto is "THE LEADER IN CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE"

MidlandMike Also the PRR run of H39's had the wrong trucks on them. Along with the wrong weight info so I passed on them as my Stewart/Bowsers are fine with me. -- Ken dti406 The PRR cars were lettered incorrectly and the manufacturer did nothing to fix that problem except to charge the buyer for correcting decals that should have been free.

I have the Arrowhead Southern hopper and a gondola I like them like to get the 3 bay Center Flow but they have not made the road names I want.

Don't know if that is a wish for his customers or a hint of a new model. He also said the preproduction hopper had 199 parts! wow.
