Ahh, poor baby.
 

Arrrgh, I've promised to limit rolling stock purchases to stuff that fits the era,and location of my layout. 

But the Rohr Turbo?  I made probably 150 or so trips on those things, mostly ALB to NYG or NYP.  Really want one...

Ordered 5 C30-7’s from my local hobby store…….can’t wait!

Took the words right out of my mouth! :-D

Jordan told me some guy on Facebook saw our announcements and then took great objection to the fact that we never announce Canadian models any more.

Uh....

OK.

To give some perspective, the single-road CN GP9 and slug set - in the first week! - has almost matched the total sales number for the entire first run of U25Bs in all those pretty paint schemes. It is a darn shame we never make Canadian stuff any more, eh?

We should have our first samples in July or August.

Sorry, just saw this. For this run we aren't offering the slug separately, but we may do so in a future release.
