QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole Well, in the April 2005 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman Accurail is advertising some new R-T-R Auto Rack cars, so they are obviously are not going out of business. As others have written, they are probably just no longer decorating anything for UP or the names it has inherited through all of the mergers.

QUOTE: Originally posted by philnrunt Just looked at the Accurail ad, and cacole is right, there are no UP related roads being made. The auto racks are pretty sweet looking, so I would guess, depending on the sales, that there might well be more RTR from them soon. BTW, these are being marketed under the Accuready brand name.
QUOTE: Originally posted by AggroJones What we can do is bombard Accurail with emails saying we are willing to pay the extra few cents per car. Just don't stop making UP swallowed fallen flag cars. If enough of us want it, they should comply with Union Pacific. It sucks we will have to pay a little more, but I rather that than no SP, WP, SSW, D&RGW, and MP cars availible anymore. Who's with me!? Anyone?
QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole An extra few cents per model? If locomotive and other rolling stock prices are any indication, it's more like $5 added to the cost for UP-related items. Accurail no doubt realizes that a $5 increase in the cost of their products would drive customers away.
