NW-Modeling-List Digest, Vol 262, Issue 31

Wed Aug 7 10:10:40 EDT 2024

I didn't pre-order the N&W cabin cars due to their poor customer response and delivery on prior B&O cabooses from Spring Mills. Those have been promised WAY BEFORE the N&W cars by years. I know a couple folks who did receive a refund from these guys on their B&O cars though.
I'm glad I avoided dealing with these guys long on excuses but poor on production. I managed to buy one of the B&O I-12 bay window cars and it was pretty magnificent in every way on feebay.
IF and WHEN the CF ever gets produced I'm sure it will be spectacular but, like you said,  I don't think I'll live long enough to ever see it. I'm 74 and have been anxiously awaiting the B&W cabs for over 13-14 years.
I get yelled at for saying this as many are so sympathetic about their production issues but it seems to me if there's several items promised ahead of the N&W car that are still not available and with the tons of lame excuses they rarely put out I'd look in to transferring these projects to another more reliable manufacturer who could get them produced. I look at the numerous items cranked out by other great firms like Rapido, Atlas, Athearn, Bowser and Bachmann and wonder about all the SMD excuses.
Just my 2¢.
