Project update … 10/15/24

Western Pacific caboose project:  I have completed reviewing sample models and,with only a couple minor revisions, they have been approved.  The project is fully reserved and I expectdelivery in December.  

Business car project #3:  The GODs for several versions have beenrevised and approved and all the GODs will probably be complete this month.  Production of these cars will begin as the caboosesare finished.  

Lightweight passenger cars:  Good news for those with orders for thelightweight passenger cars!  This projectwill be going to Boo-Rim Precision in November. I can still take orders until at least the end of November but I willhave to confirm the production quantity soon after.  Note a revision to the following matrix inred and the B&M and MC cars have been cancelled due to lack of interest.

NP, GN, CB&Q 2-6-6-2 / B&O0-6-6-0 / SP 4-6-6-2 project:  I’mcurrently negotiating with Se Ho regarding combining several of the locomotive projectsI’d like to produce into a single project. The objective is to increase the total production quantity while keepingindividual locomotive quantities in line with customer interest.  Thus, if successful, there might be as few asonly 7 or 8 of each individual locomotives produced.  This project is still tentative but pleaselet me know your potential interest assuming a retail price in the $3,500+/- range.
