The Coach Yard


May 30, 2025


We have returned from our visit to the builders in Korea.

 We had great discussions on tariffs, and they understood why we will suspend production is the tariffs get too high.

The PULLMAN restaurant and lounge cars are progressing. We spent a great deal of the time going over the painting and lettering of the cars. Delivery is expected in July 2025.

Following this production will be the BNSF Official cars.

We are developing the Norfolk Southern Office cars and the original AUTOTRAIN

The official announcement will be in July 2025 at the NMRA-National Train Show.

 

We will have another train announcement - think GREEN.

The PULLMAN Restaraunt cars are coming along - this was one of the main reasons we had to go to the factory in 2024 . There are so many variations and paint schemes it was becoming overwhelming with the factory.
