3rd Rail N&W M-Class 4-8-0 Update?

Sorry about the inconsistent dates on some of these projects. We have good reservations on the N&W M, and we wish we could have them out sooner, but the factory is slower than molasis. This particular factory waits for an approval of a pilot sample, which they have yet to deliver. Once approved they take 4 months produce them. Our newsletter is up todate, showing a possible 12-12 delivery.

This factory is now delivering the PRR Congressionals and B&O and C&O Cabooses. We are waiting for a container date to send out final notices.

Conversly, our other factory in China is rock'in, and I am going over there to assist on the E7 2nd Run, 10-6  / 4-4-2 Sleepers and B&O Columbian Set A, Coaches.

Fast on the heals of the E7s are the FL9 Diesels, C&NW H-1, N&W TE-1 and so on.

Our Korean Builder is working on the GN 08 and Tourist Stock Cars.

Still another one is doing the PRR L-1, PRR Express Cars and Erie S3/S4. They are all busy. Should be a busy train season.

Orders for the AC9, Sierra 38 and FP7s are strong and we are starting the design of these.

Again, sorry for the date inconsistencies, the schedules change everytime I go to the factory.

Regards,

Scott Mann

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear that the project is moving, even if it is at a slow pace. I really don't mind waiting a long time for a model as long as there are honest updates about the status. I hope you will be able to post a couple of pics of the pilot sample when you receive it.

Now I am just patiently waiting your post where you announce that the GGD Heavyweight Diner and Observation sets are going into a second production run

I wish that the Diner was available as a separate piece. There are absolutely WAY TOO MANY observation cars around.
