Sure looks like Bachmann is planning to make the Aristo-Craft 53' Evans boxcars for 2022! 

This is a page from the "New" NMRA 2021 catalog..https://resources.bachmanntrains.com/nmra-2021/html5/index.html

 

 

 

 

Yes Chuck, as well as an EOT with a truck, battery or rail. Certainly interesting for retrofitting.

Wonder if they will offer the EOT as a separate item also??

On the last page is a picture, but this is H0 scale from the existing program. There will certainly be a market for it, so far no one has produced it in 1/29.

Right as next page it'll be available only with a truck.

 

I saw this today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL3SiGLw_n0. He is running OO-gauge so almost HO but no need to pay for a truck.

Now that I have found the symbol for inserting links. Here is a link to the company selling these (too?) small EOT lamps:

OR some refer to them as a FRED.   

The new Bachmann 2022 catalog shows the Evans boxcar price of $259.00 

 

 

And the FRED Truck for $99.95

Trainworld has the Evans boxcars up on their website for preorder...
