The prospector has been announced and color photo's are located at isle KK in the orange hall. we expect the set to be under 500.00 but that is based on what options i choose. remember this is a tinplate toy train! also present are completed generals and the lake shore limited set. the lake shore limited will be shipped late NOVEMBER.
we will be posting pictures after York!

Looking forward to running the Lake Shore set at Christmas.
Now to see some pictures of the Prospector for those of us that did not do York.

Lou; Your killing us here!
I couldn't make York this time around so isle KK won't do me any good. How about we pretend York is ending tomorrow so we can see the pictures anyway! 
we are trying to get the high rez. photo's now. i promise to have johnny ourso charter member of our club post them
thanks

Good Morning Lou:
Saw the picture posted in the other thread - very nice job. Are you still going to use the special "chrome" paint where we see silver in the image? Just curious because that would really "pop" off of the orange. Nice job either way.

THE PAINT IS VERY HARD TO DESCRIBE.It is a satin chrome finish not like a chrome plated one. would I let you folks down? NEVER!

When do preorders start and have you come up with a price.

Steve, Lou intimated in another thread that the Prospector would be ready to order in June of 2013 for december delivery.
Chris, it is D&RGW gold color...check out all the DRGW photos of the ski trains and their F units on the web and that should point you in the right direction.
December 2013 delivery? Perfect.
By then, should have the train budget back in shape after other preorders have arrived (he says hopefully).
Remind me...what's the expected ship-date for the Lake Shore set?
PD
The last I heard was late November.
