the cars look really nice. I'm just waiting for the smaller NSC 6000 scrap gons to come out, supposed to be some time this summer. I need a couple black AIMXs.

If you view the video on the YouTube site you can look at the comments which point out issues other than the severe body wobble reported in the video, such as ride quality with the rotating bearing caps, out of round wheels and plastic couplers that break and are not easy to replace. Other surprising comments noted OVR's poor customer service.

I have never gotten anything other than excellent customer service from them. I think there are just some sour grapes out there looking for something to complain about. I know there were people whining that they didn't think their cars were shipped fast enough, but there is only so much they can do with a small staff and still running a store on top of it. It's no different than Tangent or any other small company out there taking a few days to get everything sorted out and shipped, as far as I'm concerned - patience is a virtue.
I guess Aurora (the maker of the cars) wanted to use their own couplers on this run, but Lorne has said that all future cars from OVR will have semi scale Kadees from the factory.

Aren’t they suppose to be doing the NSC covered hoppers that another Canadian outfit announced? I’d much rather buy from Otter Valley

I like these loads, and especially the "netting" replicating what on the full-sized cars probably helped keep pieces of the loads inside the cars. What was this restraining provision made of on the real cars? (The real cars are too recent and the models too big to fit well on my own small home layout, but I want to write about these cars and loads for those who might want them and be able to use them.)

Lorne
Is every load different from each other? They look excellent especially with the netting.
Thanks Vito L.
