I haven't, but at least one of the guys on the NP Modelers list has. No comments on the wonderfulicity, yet.
I'm sure that they are, though. Wonderful. I've got a small pile of them due. These and the two GN ones and the UP one are really a train filler, for me. I'm hoping the next batch of 50 footers will be the PC&F outside post cars--the following generation of boxcars on the GN and the Q.

7/30/2024, starting 8:27 p.m., EDT
I got mine yesterday, one in the 1957 livery with the very large shadowed NP left of the doors, Route of the Vista Dome North Coast Limited and huge NP yin/yang logo right of them , smaller lettering in Roman -- the same paint scheme as on one of the first Athearn cars in that scheme, with roof and doors too old fo rthe paint job, back around 1958. I ended up repainting that one boxcar red, decaling it to match a black & white photo in a very old Model Railroader, and installing Allied Full Cushjion trucks on it for passenger train service. That I later rep[laced with an Athearn or Athearn Roundhouse car in Pullman green with yellow lettering that some such cars receivied; I hope I moved the Allied Full Cushion trucks to it. I got rid of another firm's boxcar with a less authentic body than the splendid Moloch one some time back. I like the Moloch model very much indeed and thanked Nick Molo for his fine work on it in a personal email. I've never seen an NP train in person but do have a soft spot for some of the line's freight cars.

My 4 (2 arch 56/57, one 8' monad and one green NP) are due to arrive Friday but they are only an hour drive and one state away so maybe Thursday. I may have to put an all-NP boxcar train on the club layout for a publicity photo.

That green NP is very tempting, I love the green trucks.

I've not gotten mine yet. I did email them when they sent me an invoice to get some needed detail parts and got a new invoice. I've seen a few people get theirs on FB so I'm hoping mine ship soon.

My three showed up earlier this week. One has already entered the decal shop for patched data, re-weigh, re-pack, and chalk decals to bring the as-delivered scheme up to 1969 before weathering commences.

We're going as quickly as physically and accurately as possible to fill orders. We do have a lot of orders and are almost sold out totally. We do appreciate everyone's patience.

Green BN car arrived earlier this week and worth the wait. Looking forward to getting it on the rails with my other BN cars from Moloco and Tangent!

Picked mine up at my LHS today. I chose the earlier arched lettering version since I already have the Tangent 40' car with the large nomad. The car is exquisite and looks great. I was surprised how unique it looks with its centered double doors as opposed to the Kadee and Branchline double door cars. I will add some data patching and some weathering to bring the car into my ~1974 era.
