Three things...
1. I spoke to Dave Blum of Pikesville Models at the convention, and yes, he has cut a deal with MTH for 4 new beer reefers.
2. I am not a big fan of fantasy schemes, but I picked this up for $49 from Doug Peck at the convention. Looks good behind my son's KCS SD70.
3. I also talked to Doug about MTH direct selling the flat car with trailer for $35 via Ebay, and he was not happy to say the least. Pretty rotten way to treat your dealers who have stock sitting on their shelves.
