Update on the Springmill Depot preorder of N&W Caboose

[NW Modeling List]

Look guys with everything going on in the political world right now with the tariffs and all, I look for even more delays of every model railroad project from every company.  What the narrow gaugers are finding out is that it is cheaper to get their models done in 3D printing or injection molding in this country.  A prime example of this is Western Rails on Shapeways, who is not only selling cars but trucks as well.  I would be certain that if someone would do the CAD work, you would have your cabooses much quicker at almost the same price as the ones that are going to come from China.  Another thing to consider is that there is only one manufacturer in China that is doing model railroads.

I don't think any worries should be expended on the quality. SMD is a far different company than Atlas or most others. The quality and accuracy of any product they have produced is not an issue.
Like one poster just stated..........announcing such an ambitious project when they already have so much on the menu that is still not delivered is questionable practice.
Personally, I'm very sorry they made the announcement for N&W/VGN cabins. I'm also on the B&O Group and have been listening to the crying and whining for years now and will probably be hearing it for quite some time in the future too. Now the N&W Group will make it a constant topic of despair! Nothing is going to allow them to speed up the project and it will happen when it does. Believe me.......SMD wants them here as much s we all do. They re good guys caught in the Asian way of doing things. Just have patience and keep an eye on your mail box.

I certainly hope that you all do!
A few years ago I was assured by Atlas that the O-scale C-31 cabs would 
be correct...they were far from it!

Praying for you,
