RF&P GP7s MTH Premier - SIDETRACK HOBBIES EXCLUSIVE

@Side Track Hobbies Has MTH provided an update on when these might be delivered?

Thanks,

Nice scheme!

Maybe MTH & Lionel will get a clue some day and offer this one? Had to make my own again.

SIRT pretty much nailed the prototype in Roanoke!

SIRT-  your boxcars look great! “Having to” make your own isn’t necessarily a bad thing…. allows for creativity and modeling opportunities.  Well done, SIR (t) ! JohnA

Thanks,

MTH indicates they will be in their warehouse by the end of the month.  We'll pick them up and ship them out shortly thereafter. 

Only a few remain after pre-orders accounted for.

Thanks

Thanks Al, Good News!

Very nice looking GP7 and great job on the boxcars @SIRT

Needless to say...we are thrilled with how these GP7s turned out.  @MTH did a fantastic job incorporating our specifications and adding the enhanced PS3 dialogue.  Here are some of the specifics:

Full-size fuel tank, roof-mounted air tanks, horn placement, steam generator per original prototype, and original livery.

We have #101 w/ southbound sounds reflecting departure from Potomac Yard, passing several towers enroute to Acca Yard in Richmond.

#104 has northbound sounds from Acca Yard to Potomac Yard with different towers along the RF&P.  Both also reference Bryan Park Terminal (RF&P's maintenance facility).

Mr. Rudman, great looking diesel. I'm surprised more dealers aren't taking advantage of MTH's custom run program. All of these diesels that are being made should have a caboose. Mr. Rudman, you may want to consider doing a R.F. and P. box car. I would do at least two different colors.

Those are some serious horns!

The first house I owned was 100 yards from the RF&P line.   Had a great view over an open field towards the tracks.  I remember seeing those. They stood out with the air tanks vs the more common later model gp35 and gp40 I usually saw.

picking one of those up is very tempting.  Great job on that model.

just picked up a used 101 SB from a member on here! very excited to use it!

little update, my #101 unit keeps announcing 109 over the PFA. is this correct @Side Track Hobbies

I have both units.  109 refers to the train #, not cab #.  RF&P 109 was a southbound manifest freight originating at Potomac Yard.
