Looks too new for me too but modern folks may be interested.

Hopefully the non Facebook users will get the announcement too.
I look forward to getting some of these cars

No information on pre-order time windows. Based on comments on the facebook post, they will be posted on the Roka website for pre-order soon. Were the autoracks available for pre-order, or did they follow a Tangent 'announcement upon delivery' model? I wonder what the timeline for these new models will be.

They were mentioned on MFCL on the 26th. The still aren't on the Roka website.
I found two pictures of the SHQX cars, both dated 2022. I'm guessing these will be post-2020 models.
Kinda neat, though.

Their first model arrived a month or two after the announcement. So, not in stock, but quite soon. That may or may not hold, here. Ed |

I've never seen this car and I do quite a bit of train watching around the country over the past year or two. Where do these run?

Thanks for posting this. I breifly saw it on FB, but then I couldn't find it again and I couldn't remember thename of the company. I eventually ended deciding it it was a European model and I'd got mixed up! |

They’re not the most common cars out there, but they do add variety. If I modeled modern stuff I’d get a few, the railroad I work at usually has a few mixed in with the more common UTC, GATX and Trinity cars. |

Was looking at the FB comments and a guy asked when they will be up for preorder and they answered when their IT guy recovers from Christmas and New years 😁. These are definitely out of my era I do some early PC and some early CR. It's nice to see more tankcars though.
