Re: Tangent at Amherst Show this weekend
I am aware of their policy and think it is a valid one. That is why I am interested in what they bring to shows.

Re: Tangent at Amherst Show this weekend
Tangent at all shows has said they won't talk about anything that is in their pipeline. If you go to Trainfest on Youtube you will find that this is their company policy.

Black Southern Pacific 3-Bay Covered Hoppers?
