I stopped by forum sponsor @Berwyns Toys and Trains this morning to pick up some paint. I noticed all of their custom run MTH Premier USRA Pacifics had come in. The most visually impressive, to me, is the Burlington version. MTH did a great job adding details the USRA tooling to more closely represent the Burlington prototype. They also have Milwaukee Road, Chicago and Northwestern, and Rock Island versions available.

The whistle steam on this model is impressive. MTH routed it through the whistle itself.

I also got them to run a couple of the custom run Premier diesels they just got in. Here's their exclusive Burlington Northern F3 and Great Northern SD9.

They have a bunch of other cool early 70s Premier diesels that just arrived, including Illinois Central Gulf F3s and Burlington Northern SD9s. Stop by or order these models from Berwyn's website (https://berwynstoytrains.com/). I'd probably have taken all these models home with me if I wouldn't have gone broke 😄.

I picked up my CB&Q 4-6-2 Pacific #2952 today at Berwyn.

Fantastic locomotive !!!

Also picked up both road numbers of the CB&Q Chinese red 50’ Boxcars & some of Atlas-O’s painted figures.

I also pre-ordered the custom run CB&Q Red & Green flat cars with pipe loads, the 2 Q red flat cars with Marshall Fields trailers, 1 CMStP&P flat car with Florsheim Shoes trailer, and 1 IC flatcar with Jay’s Potato Chip flatcars

Great items !!!

Not to change this topic, but what is the status of the now Atlas Premier CB&Q passenger cars based on the former MTH tooling?  I put a down payment on the baggage and RPO cars about 2 years back and have not received an update.

My Sunset E5 needs a complete train behind it!

Hi Jonathan,

We know the long wait for delivery of O gauge items scheduled for production regularly miss their published ETAs. Your $20 deposit placed on 9-1-2021, almost ten months ago, will hold your order for the cars that Atlas informs us have left China. How long it will take to get through the ports and trucking terminals we do not know as the industry has encountered many difficulties in what used to take about six weeks tops. Thank you for your order and being patient. We are also eager to receive delivery on these as well.
