Looking for help on uncataloged MTH Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal flatcar

Chris,

Those are custom runs available only from the Metropolitan Division of the Train Collectors Association (METCA).  METCA hasn't announced the cars yet.  When they do, you'll be able to find them in the METCA Webstore:

Keep your eyes on the webstore.  We hope to have them listed there in the next week or two.  Delivery in 2022.

So that everyone else can see what they look like, images posted below.

Thanks, Stu. That’s great (and happens to be my longtime TCA division).

I see that MTH has announced two uncataloged EBDT flats with Boars Head trailers, item 20-95522 and 95523, scheduled for release next month. I’ve done the normal searches and don’t see them listed by any dealer for ordering. I’ve lost track of how MTH products now are coming to market. Can someone help me out?

I’d also love to hear of other EBDT offerings in O scale other than than the MTH switcher. Thanks

You might want to edit your subject title, and your above post, as the correct name is "Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal", i.e. BEDT.  I remember visiting/photographing that railroad back back in the mid or late 1950s, when they were still their saddle tank 0-6-0 steam locomotives. Also, for what it's worth, one of there 0-6-0 locomotives is still functional as "Thomas The Tank" on the Strasburg Rail Road.

I’m definitely in for a pair!!! They will go nicely with my LionChief Plus 2.0 B.E.D.T. tank engine (and the recent METCA Renken’s milk car). Looks like my Brooklyn train is getting longer.

I like the trailers but BEDT never had any revenue rolling stock

Thank you, Hot Water. Done

As a BOAR’S HEAD fan, the trailers are nice but without refrigeration, they are not believable.

Perhaps the blue / white gondola NY DOCK Idler car #101 car used on the barges would have been another choice?

I like the boars head trailers on flats but I prefer SIRT Steve’s suggestion for the idler car.

here’s my BEDT 0-6-0 & S2 after some weathering and added windows.
