NP Z6? MTH How Could You? How Could YOU?!?

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....

 

The last time MTH made the Z6 I was a low and humbly grad student who was a slave to ramon, pizzas and late nights in the computer lab in Marquette!

When it came out I just couldn't afford it. I hoped MTH would make it again one day..

 

Then comes the last two catalogs and a massive dump of pre-orders. A Milwaukee Road Little Joe, the North Coast Limited F7 set and the GN S2 set. THEN on top of that Third Rail announces they are making the #2626, the most famous steam engine on the NP. It was like a religious experience when I saw that announcement and the picture. Hands down, I jumped in. After all MTH and Lionel probably were sick of me begging and pleading for them to make the Four Aces. I even offered to bear Mike Wolf a son if they made the #2626.

 

So I am working through my pile. The North Coast Limited has a home and the National Capital Trackers have to tolerate it now. Paid off the Third Rail #2626 and have that stuffed and mounted in my living room. Now I am working off the GN S2 set.

 

So in the back of my mind I prayed and pleaded with the God's of heaven...please no major NP in this catalog? I'm in debtors prison enough. I wrestled, pleaded and begged the God's in the heavens...let this catalog pass with hardly anything.

 

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....

 

This morning I look at the catalog and see the NP Z6 and I wanted to scream...why now? Why not the next catalog? I'm still paying off items for the last catalog and I planned to finished out 2015 and 2016 and get caught up. My wallet needed to breath. I needed a rest.

 

Why does a loving God allow the Z6 to be made now?

 

If I started a gofundme account...how many on the forum would support it?

Great to be back guys I've been busy...

Now they are using their heads... they can do a GN, SP&S, and a NP version....

The MTH SP&S Z-6 from about 10 years ago. One super nice steamer and fantastic runner.

So here's how this is gonna go....

1) You'll whine about it costing a lot of money and you ordered too much stuff already.

2) You'll buy it anyways

3) You'll bring it to a Tracker show and it will either:

       a)Not run at all

       b)Run, but derail constantly

       c)Run fine, but you'll bring too many cars and the train will stringline

       d)Run fine but you'll bring too many cars and the couplers wont hold

       e)Chuck all the traction tires simultaneously

4) You'll take it home

5) Bring to the next Tracker show, rinse and repeat

 

 

Matt, did I hit the nail on the head?

Good start but a few things missing here....c'mon you know better!

 

F) Leave it and 400 cars on the two tables everyone else needs to unload their stuff and disappear for the day. 

G) Leave it and 400 cars on the track and disappear for the day.

H) Try to pull way too many cars and kill it
