Any word on the Pullman 12-1 sleepers? Supposedly "summer 2016" according to the current brochure. My passengers are getting very dozy! They need their beds!
How about one of the Jubilee locomotives? I have a few different versions of them (mostly Marx), and love the profile.
These are my modified 3rd Rail F7's. I figured 3rd Rail buyers may be interested in seeing what I did to them. Link to thread below:

My opinion only. these are great looking models, but way to dull looking for my taste.
Need more gloss in the final finish.

When will the Harriman cars ship?
DaveJfr0 posted:Looks like Scott posted a picture of the EMD Demo version of the model….While this is a SD7, only thing I question is if Scott will be using the correct style pilot for the SD9's. I'll shoot him an email. I believe the step area was different on the SD9's, at least from photo evidence I have reviewed on google images.
Can't wait to get my Southern SD9 units. These look like they're going to be good.
These look awesome! can't wait for my cb&q sd9 to arrive. Hopefully soon we will get a close up picture of the cab detail.

More gloss? No thank you. A non-glossy finish works just fine for a prototype model.

I concur, no gloss. That flat finish is just right for me.
The glossy finish would be for factory new paint.
A flatter finish is for a model that has been in service for over 10 years.

It looks great! Is there a brochure for the rest of paint schemes?
On my layout everything is factory new paint

Not when ya live in the desert.... takes a few months 
LOS I meant of production models, just curious to see them.

Well, technically, if you are the original owner of the equipment, whatever the finish is when taken out of the box is "factory new". Matte, gloss, or otherwise.
I find the overly glossy paint to look odd
Though it's true that real world equipment dawns a lovely and shiny appearance, at least when fresh, I don't believe glossy finishes translate particularly well into scale modeling. Fine details tend to be overwhelmed and muddied as a result of high reflectance and related anomalies. An example may well be Scott's magnificent 'Train of Tomorrow' (a personal favorite) as almost crossing the line being too shiny. I do, however, find high gloss finishes to be very pleasing and a desirable attribute in tinplate. It lends itself to the toy-like qualities so regarded by enthusiasts and novice alike. Obviously, tinplate makes no attempt as a true representation of a prototype, whereas scale models, at whatever level of success, strive to achieve such goals entirely.
Jon, you're extremely susceptible to attraction to shiny objects
Scott, any more SD7/9 production photos?
Yeah, let's see some CNW units

Thankfully, Matt, I find you to be completely dull.
Ouch, that hurt my feeling
Need more gloss in the final finish.
Ill going to suggest CNW aseptically in Falcon Service or Operation Lifesaver. Id buy 2, 3 if I need to.
Let me try that again.

In for 2 or 3 Southern SD40-2's. Don't think there I will splurge for a Southern ACE3000 though since its I'm pretty sure its imaginary and I rather have 3 prototypical SD40-2's.
David, Tried to respond to your e-mail but was rejected. All of the ACE 3000's are fictitious as the prototype was never built, but was closer to becoming a reality than many may think. Potential road names will be CSX, NS, BNSF, etc.
I would assume Scott would have his own post somewhere on this, but looks like he just posted a ton of brand new announcements...
No Yellow Kid cars.... .
So, I notice you have made no reference to the CB&Q O-1A Mikados in your recent updates. What is the status of these or have they been shelved for a lack of orders?

Coming June 2017 according to the website.

Some pics of the newly tooled ggd pullman sleepers would be nice ��
