"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

 I saw an ad by Trainworld that the Dash 9s are being made again. I believe that's a good thing. I will look forward to seeing how the quality is and how much it will cost. They have demanded very high prices since they stopped being produced by Aristo. There were blow out prices years ago that makes the sticker shock thing really worse now.

If the prices were reasonable, I'd buy SD45s.  The blue Santa Fes are near impossible to find as they were part of the very last run.  

I remember at the very end of Aristo when they were selling the last of the sd-45's. They kept an online qty. inventory. Prices were give aways (compared to the Ebay gouging going on today). I remember checking every day when I got home from work. I just couldn't stand it  any longer. I bought one of the high nose Norfolk Southerns and two of the Santa Fe's with the thin yellow stripe. I was at the very end of the line. 2 days later they were sold out. Turns out the Norfolk Southern went back for repairs. Navin, an ex employee of Aristocraft fixed it and it has been fine since. I tested the Santa Fe's and they were fine. Back in the box they went and I have not laid eyes on them since. True blowut prices. I should have bought more.

Want to sell them to me at cost + shipping?    I mean, they are just sitting in a box.
