"We will also produce a matching caboose"

Pat, that doesn't match.

In the ad you will see Pat noted the car pictured is NOT what will be delivered, it will be in the BlackBonnet Scheme. The caboose shown is to illustrate type of caboose.

MTH did not have a screen shot yet to share.

Yuck 

John, have you ever seen the consist of the BlackBonnet K-Line ABA with 8 matching 18" Pass Cars? It is quite stunning. The same can be said for the freight consist of 16 different BlackBonnet Cars plus caboose.

Paul

Hey, Guys

Wait till you see the cad-pictures of these beauties. The paint finish is going to be high gloss and we have added the super chief logos to the rear sides of the A-units and a small one under the cab Windows . We are also going to produce a matching set of stream lined passenger cars in the near future.

Thanks

Pat

You lost me at "high gloss"!   I don't think so; had quite enough of that back in the mid-90's Williams days.  If it was matte or satin I would be in for sure.

Placed my order today. It;s an absolute pleasure speaking with Pat. He loves talking about the hobby. Not many retailers like to do so.  He's been getting all my business recently and will do so in the future as well.

Paul, I have friends that love it, however I am a traditionalist when it comes to the war bonnets, The original super chief is what I like, the Blue and yellow freight colors were OK, the yellow warbonnets I could never get used to and they were for real. The black warbonnets were a mistake by the K line importers when seeing a bad photo that was taken of a few warbonnets were the sun shinning off the sheet metal at a weird time of the day giving it the effect it was black.

I like fantasy schemes but not that one, for some reason it creeps me out. 

Hey John, that is one of the reasons this hobby is so great - there is something for everyone. As much as I like the BlackBonnet, it is the iconic original WarBonnet scheme that so many of us identify with toy trains.

all the best.

Paul

What I don't see detailed is which items are powered, which are dummy, which will have smoke, and how many and which have Protocouplers.

And not knowing a lot about PS-3 locomotive sets, if both A units are powered, can they be operated separately, or will the 2nd A unit only be a slave to the 1st A unit?

Pat,
This is a great product.
Beast of luck,
Ralph

Just think, an Artist's MIS-concept is now a reality!!!
Ralph

Hey, Guys

This ABA set will have 1 dual motored powered unit with full PS-3 and smoke. The other two units will be dummies. The B-unit is non powered and the Dummy A-unit will have lights and operating proto coupler. The features are the standard features of a Scale RailKing F-3 ABA. We are thinking of offering another Powered A-unit which will be sold separate.

Thanks

Pat

If you use the RK 16" streamliners for this set it will be 1st class. These don't get mentioned that often but they look great with the semi-scale F3s and other passenger locomotives.

Is this only available as an ABA?

Any pictures of the actual models ?
Thanks,

We will have better pictures in near future. These units will only be sold as ABA. We are going to offer a separate powered A-unit also.

Thanks Pat. I may hold out for the single powered A unit. Can't really accommodate a full ABA on my layout. One beautiful looking train. The real silver Warbonnet was a sight to see up close in Sacramento!

   I'm with you, SJC.  Would love a full set plus several passenger cars but my layout is moderately sized.  My storage is filling up too.  I'd be fine though with a single A-unit and a four-car matching passenger set.

Rats, I really wanted to buy this, but having to buy an extra A unit to get two powered units doesn't make sense for me.  I don't want or need an extra A dummy.

Interesting that Im allured by this black beast, that never existed in real life but only in catalogs. The black bonnet I understand is a passenger set up but I still look at as a freight locomotive. I am also a fan of the Sanra Fe blue Bonnet don't know why, can't explain it.. 

Wouldn't it be cool to have a Warbonnet Set, then one each of the yellow, the blue, and the black?!

Pat - any ETA on delivery?

Any chance you would still consider a powered B unit. The original K-line units had 2 powered A's with 4 motors. Your MTH set needs a second powered unit

Hey, Guys

The A-B-A Black bonnets are getting very low, do not get left out. The new price will be $599.99 after 7-1-2016.
