GBW #55 (1983.04.23) - Thrall Door boxcars arrived in the early 70s. They were used to carry hardboard products to Ford plants in the Detroit area.

Seymour Depot Kit (HO) - Eninehouse Services has a wood kit of GB&W's depot at Seymour, Wis. The kit is laser cut wood kit with roofing material.

ALCO 2-6-0 Mogul (HO) - Bachmann is producing an Alco 2-6-0 Mogul in DCC-ready and DCC sound-equipped models. The pre-production model appears to be very similar to GBW #56/256 with the correct boiler shape, driver spacing, dome placement, bell, headlight, piping and tender. The major difference between the model and the prototype is the placement of the air pumps on the fireman's side.
