Any news on the 3rd Rail NYC T-3 Electric? I already have an order in for a black one, and may even get a striper if these are gonna get done.

They are still on the plan to do - probably late this year. There were not enough reservations to do them in diecast so they will be done in brass at a higher price.

Diecast price was going to be $500, and brass price is expected to be $800.

I really hope they get made, and can't figure out why any NYC fan wouldn't want one. The T motors can pull anything - any NYC pass cars, any freight. It would be such a cool versatile engine to have on your rr.

I thought the same thing about the NYC H10b. When it was announced, I thought no way there wouldn't be enough reservations for this classic NYC locomotive. Well, it never happened. Maybe one day it will.

Right now I worried about the fate of the B&O P-7e.

Dreyfuss Hudson, I hope the T-3 makes it to production. Bo
