Update on the Springmill Depot preorder of N&W Caboose

[NW Modeling List]

I really hope that the N&W caboose don't take as long as the B&O caboose's.
I ordered my I5's in June of 2014 and we're hoping to have them this year.
They have done such accurate and beautiful work that I can't wait to see
both the B&O and N&W models.
