Yes, but they're payware. I'd assume that new JR rolling stock would still be freeware. And anyway, competition is good, no?

Of course competition is good, but JR has slowed down on freeware production (it takes just as much effort to make freeware as payware) and I didn't know if you knew they were available. (BTW they are on sale right now )

Another nice, compact transloading warehouse. This one is located on the Indiana Railroad at Odon, IN.

Or what about some 53 foot loadable chassis that work with American intermodal?

I see piles of old ties like this all around at rail yards.

And since JR seems to be big in "Packs" how about a MOW pack.

You actually have a valid point here, as most right of way - worldwide - is being converted to concrete. Plenty of piles like this. Won't see concrete sleeper piles for 50+ years.

How is this for a compromise? Concrete one-in-five to hold the gauge ...

JR,

Any chance we could see a version of the brick loco shed from the inspection train pack, but with only 1 door/opening in the middle? It'd be a pretty close fill in for the W&LE (ex-AC&Y) shop at Brittain Yard in Akron, Ohio. Thanks for the consideration!

How about some permanent derails? Like these sliding types, used to protect sidings.

Or the type you flip over.

I've seen both types on our line.

This suggestion has Mike written all over it. Fertilizer companies have been consolidating and expanding new facilities to handle larger quantities of fertilizer. They range in size from 7,000 to 40,000 Tons of dry fertilizer and most seem to handle liquid as well. Here are a few examples.

Edon, OH

Wayland, Mi

Jackson Center, OH

How about some new trash containers? While I don't know the "name" of the specific model, they are half the height of JR's current model, and are loaded onto the 2-pk spine cars, almost always in a 2-1-1-2 configuration.

In the spirit of all things trackside, how about some CP switchstands?

His are CN models; somewhat resemblant, but markedly different.
