Received my missing GP-7 stanchion in today's mail and expect everyone should be getting theirs soon. I really didn't anticipate having it this soon, so it has to be a high priority for Scott. Thanks Scott, we appreciate the great customer service!

Got mine today also. Included is a one page instruction and the stanchion is prepainted.
Great followup Scott.

Hi Folks,
Regarding the GP79 missing stanchion:
We are mailing the last batch today by regular First Class Mail, They come in a regular Sunset Models Envelope, stanchions were painted by the factory to match the color of each roadname and type (GP7 or GP9) that was produced, and we picked these out for each customer based on our records of what you ordered and received.
We had to take off the sprue from the back of each stanchion as the factory left this in place when they painted them. They didn't quite finish the job in my opinion, but they got these in a box of parts they were sending to us as quickly as possible.
So the back of the lower part of each stanchion is missing paint. That's OK because that's where you will glue them to the side of your model.
There is a simple instruction sheet to show you where it goes and how to install. Give the mail a week to deliver these.
Thank you all for your patience while we coordinated this effort. I sure hope we don't have to do anything like this again. It's much easier to catch these mistakes at the drawing stage, but alas, we are all human and are constantly reminded of that.
Cheers,
Scott Mann
Thanks Scott, mine arrived yesterday too!
