MTH Standard Gauge "New Tooling" Freight Cars 2015

I  got so excited,,,i want them all,,,flopping around on the floor like a fish,,,,,,,,truly inpressive   

Very nice! I have the GE covered hopper on order but I think I'm in for the Baldwin wheel car too.  I'll wait for other road names for some of the other cars. 

Thanks for posting this video!  Great to see these new offerings from MTH.  I didn't pre-order anything from last years Standard Gauge catalog, but I can see a couple of those wheel cars and maybe a bay window caboose will make their way onto my roster this year.    Also will be keeping an eye out for the new 4010 tank cars in Shell and Gulf liveries.  That'll be it for me in the Standard Gauge department this year.  

BTW, lovely Standard Gauge layout and trainroom too!

It sure is nice to see what is in all those brown boxes.  David, Thank you so much!  They even look better than they did in the catalog.  Good work MTH!

Phil, that's pretty funny.  It never occurred to me though, you get a lot in and ship a lot out, but it's all boxes.  Feel free to open any of my orders any time you want, call it "dealer inspection"!

I keep looking at the paint on these, and I can't figure out what they are doing.  It's really nice.  It looks like a very thick paint job, almost the way powder coating looks.  It looks like it flowed and filled any imperfections, the way a paint job would look if you put many multiple coats on, or maybe dipped like in the old days?   Also, the transitions between colors on one piece are perfect, better than anything you'd get by masking, I don't know how they are doing that. It's pretty impressive.
