American Models Celebrating the Texas & Pacific Railroad

This was announced on another thread.

Sorry I did not see the post.

Titled 2014 S fest. Nice pics from the show.

Thanks for posting this Frank.  Don't get the Dispatch. AM's web site doesn't show them yet and I missed the display at 2014 S fest.  They must have put them out later on Friday. Rusty's pics in the S fest thread only showed the engines.

AM tends to be slow at putting things up on the website.  Their Texas Special, SP Daylight and MP Colorado Eagle were out for over a year before they appeared on the website.

 

Anyways, Ron Bashista says the T&P's are due this month.   Also, according to Ron, the GP's were produced here and decorated in China. (I heard a radio report the other day on a west coast dock worker slowdown, so that may delay things.)

 

I hope to do a report on the T&P once I get my grubby little hands on one.  He was also showing a B&O GP9 and GP18 in the solid blue scheme.  I think there's one or two more new roads coming for the GP's, as Ron had a small sign at the Fest saying passenger GP's will have "torpedo tube" air reservoirs mounted on the roof.

The American Models Texas & Pacific stuff is now up on their website.  Available AC, DC Hirail, DC Scale.  One or two locomotive sets.

 

Delivery is now slated for December.  The container is in LA as of 11/19.

 

Rusty

The set is very nice, and the price is good too with all the matching cars.  If the T&P was a road I followed I would be on this.

All, liking these but need a "newer" road name scheme.
Looks as if this run is all "as delivered". 
It appears they've upgraded the window trim, number boards, maybe thinner handrails.
I'd love to chop nose one, aka IC.
Btw- whoever "proofreads" Ron's ads has worse eyesight than mine.
Just sayin'

Are they still available in Scale and Hi-Rail? The site only shows AC or DC for all...

Just hit the Select button and all will be revealed:

 

 

Rusty

Oh yeah?

 

 

Sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry, didn't look at the GP9 page. 

 

So shoot me and put me out of your misery.

 

Best bet is to go to to their contact page and contact them.

 

Rusty

Why the hostility Rusty? You aren't bothering me.

 

I will assume that since they are available on the set list that they are still available individually as HR or scale. I'll shoot them an email, but it usually takes several days for them to respond so I figured I would ask here first.

Nice looking locos , those blue and white make me wish I was modeling the T&P. Now if AM would make some 57 foot reefers I'd be really happy >......DaveB

The orange version is sharp....

Jonathan:

 

I have ordered often from AM.  I usually call them with the order and state I want scale wheel sets (these are code 125 [same dimensions as Lionel scale] rather than code 100 as with the SHS wheels).  Ron has always been very accommodating and willing to answer questions.  I have never ordered anything from them that they could not supply with scale wheels.  Seems I remember somewhere that on the check out there is a comment box that you can use to indicate you want scale items, but could not find that on their website.
