Great move for 3rd Rail and the OGR Forum. Thank you Scott for your support.

Thanks Scott. This is the best forum to promote your great products on. "OGR " is the best!

Here I am with a silly question. Are GGD and 3rdRail/Sunset the same company?  They have separate websites that don't link and their mailing addresses are different.

 

Whatever the case, thanks for advertising here.  your excellent reputation precedes you!

Welcome to the OGR Forum, Scott. I'm glad you are here!

Welcome to the forum and thank you for sponsoring it.

Thanks for sponsoring the Forum....and thanks for doing the Yellowbonnet!

Thanks for becoming a Forum sponsor. I have come to depend on this forum for much of my information - living out in the middle of 2 rail O scale wasteland. Always looked forward to your post about upcoming product. Leon

Way to go Scott ... Thanks!!!

Thanks Guys and Thanks OGR. It's my pleasure to support this forum. Long ago, I had started my own Forum at 3rdrail.com. It's not an easy tasks. I had to spend hours everyday monitoring, assisting and erasing the spam hits. I finally shut it down and just put a link to this Forum. It's so popular now, it's a great venue for putting the word out.

 

Thank you all for your continued support.

 

To answer the above question: Sunset Models Inc. is a Corporation. 3rd Rail is a brand name under Sunset Models. Golden Gate Depot is a DBA I have used since 1988 when I founded it. Since the passing of my father Mort Mann, I run both of these companies separately for various reasons. Sunset Models has focused on Brass engines and cars, while GGD has focused on Aluminum cars and Plastics. But these materials are mixing a bit with the advent of our ABS RDC and Diesel Runs under Sunset Models. For now, they will remain separate.

 

Enjoy your hobby.

I don't have any products yet from Sunset Models, but what I have read and seen, their product is top shelf! Thanks for joining the Forum>

Thank you for your support of this Forum, Scott. My 3rd rail engines are favorites and I look forward to buying more.

I have a few 3rd Rail locomotives, they are some impressive models.  When I hit the lottery, I'm going to trade all my MTH passenger cars in for GGD cars!

 

Scott, you're the best! Welcome aboard!

Scott,

 

You and your company are a tremendious assset to the model railroading community.  Thank you for continuing your support of OGR through your additional sposorship of the forum.  I always look forward to your comments and expertise!

Dave

Scott,

 

The passengers tell me they don't care about advertising sponsorship or manufacturer name.  When they get on board, all they talk about is the comfortable ride, elegant meals, and the tasty cocktails.

 

Should they ask however, when on the GM ToT will they be riding on 3rd Rail or Golden Gate Depot passenger cars, since they were purchased as part of a motive powered set from the 3rd Rail order form.

 

Inquiring minds will want to know. 

 

Great to see 3rd Rail be a sponsor, thanks Scott.  I've been a customer for many years and with each model I've purchased, they have become better and more detailed.  

 

My latest purchase were the EMD FT's.  If you are looking for accuracy, they are the best out there.  Those unfamiliar with 3rd Rail products ought to take a look at the FT threads in both the 3RS and 2Rail sections and see what a fine product 3rd Rail produces. 

Impressive. This forum has become the one stop shop for everything O gauge. Its quite unique in that if you want it you can find it here. 

Hi Scott and Welcome Aboard!  You're gonna get a lot of advice here on what items you absolutely must come out with!

Scott,

Thank you for sponsoring the OGR Forum.

Thank you for being so receptive to our interests.

Most of all... Thank you for producing the El Capitan.

I agree!

Thanks to Scott and crew, you have given me hope that manufacturers DO listen

Thanks so much for sponsoring our forum and keeping this fabulous resource free!

I have been able to email and speak to Scott directly several times something that is not easy to do with the other train company heads. His company's warranty is not set in stone but I understand why companies need to have one. I have purchased 4 of his companies FL9 models, the New York Central P3 electric locomotive, 2 of the FP7

models and have a New York Central R class electric locomotive on order if Scott gets enough orders to have them made. I look forward to see what other locomotives Scott

has planned for in the future.

Goodie!!  We will hear fustest with the mostest about great Third Rail offerings!  Thank

you for joining the support team.
