Hi Folks,

10 years ago we announced the NYC H-10s. We didn't get enough interest and at the time the minimum orders to the factory were 250+.

But as time went on, minimum orders fell and our 3D design technology has improved tremendously. So we are ditching the old reservations and reissuing the NYC H-10s, both in a and b configurations, P&LE with Green or Black boilers and BA Livery.  We already have the drawings half done and we expect to go into production in 2023. No more waiting.  We are only planning 50 X 2 Rail and 50 X 3 Rail, a maximum of 100 units are planned. These will be high fidelity, 100% brass models. Not die cast hybrid, just "Life Time Brass", with brass wheel centers, steel tires and our "Quiet Drive" mechanism.

2 Rail models will come with ESU's LokSound for DC or DCC operation. 3 Rail will come with ERR Cruise, TMCC, Railsounds 5.0, coil coupler and synchronized puffing smoke.

You can see details evolve as we finalize our list of H-10s for production. Come join the fun and reserve yours. Models are made to reservations. No deposit required, all we ask is that you promise to buy what you reserve when they arrive. We have already contacted all those with older project reservations to re confirm what they want to reserve.

Please see the link below for details and scroll down to reserve yours on our on-line system.

As for affording our models, we offer flexible layaway payment plans, where you can build up a balance in your account with us and be ready to go when the models arrive. We do want to wait until we are actually in production to accept payments.

Your making it hard to say no

OH Cut the Crap Gary! You know that you want one...or Two. The fact of the matter is if you DON't get one you will loose out As:

  • 3rd rail only makes 1RUN of brass steam locomotives
  • the detail will be better than any conversion/homemeade job you can make and
  • it could be YEARS to see your model on the secondary market!

So "Hunker down" and start sweeping any leftover $$'s from last paycheck into your new H-10a and H10B account NOW! [Payday is this Friday]

Don’t miss this offering folks. I’m looking at the incredible level of detailed add ons for these models - it’s going to be an awesome model. I Stretched my budget to get my 3rd Rail T&P 2-10-4 a few years back. It was worth every stretched $ to be able to do it. The engine is beautiful, more detailed than anything else I have and is the cornerstone of my collection.  IMO you can expect the same with this new model. Cheers🙂

I am not a New York Central modeler but I am an east coast guy and this would be a particularly unique offering. I was impressed with the quality of the geeps I received but I don't have any 3rd rail steam. I will see if I can make this work if when we get closer to the order deadline.

Will it be a long while before we see another 3rd rail steam locomotive of this size?
