First let me say that i am not part of AZL and can not speak for them, But being the one who pointed them out and haven bin at the show where the video was taken I will share the info i have.

Rob A is a Member of the DC_Z-Bend Track Group and occasionally has brought a new unreleased loco/Car or two out to one of the shows for Real life testing. To my knowledge every time he has done this he also posted a video a few days later showing this unreleased item. So its bin out there for all to see for 2 years. It's just that no one noticed it. Or thought it was one of ams's Excellent paint jobs in this case.

So if you are in the area and can make it out to one of the shows that DC_Z-Bend Track Group sets up at and IF Rob happens to bring a unreleased item to that show you may get to SEE it a few days before he posted a video of it for all to see. As for getting our hands on one well the DC_Z-Bend group has to wait till they get released just like everyone else. For me personally The outcome of the Super Bowl will determine if i can only afford to order one or if I have the $$ to order all 4 road Numbers

Now As a member of the DC_Z-Bend Track Group I would like to officially invite you all to come out to any/all of the shows we set up at Fouther more Bring your trains and give them a spin around out layout. When was the last time you got to run your trains on a 30' by 40' layout? or had room to pull a 100+ car train? Better Yet, We are always looking for new members so come on out, meet us and Join the groop.

We are scheduled to setup at 4 shows so far this year

Ha! Yeah, I kinda chuckle a bit when people look at videos from the Z-Bend group and completely miss unreleased items. The funny thing is it's not like they are in the background - they are right smack in the middle of the screen!

Didn't miss it just thought it was one of Aaron's repainted loco's.

Exactly. You guys are acting like a GP38-2 never existed before. Nobody is *missing* anything.

Put a trio of SW1500's switching a yard, see if we miss that. Then you'll have a credible story about how dense your customers are.

Hey David
Oh i was just like giving the AZL guys a hard time. But I did see the loco and that was the first thing came to my mine was Aaron. Never thought of a new release down the road. From now on I'll pay a little more attention. I would like to see your guys layout but 4 to 5 hr drives are not great for me and a bad back. My dream is one day owning a motor home . So I can pack up my layout and visit your guys shows. So if back acts up the boss can drive while I stretch out on floor or couch in the RV

Thank you for this schedule! Would love to attend a show where Zs are running. I'll plan on April! Maybe by then the flu will have ramped down so I won't be paranoid about hotels & restaurant food.
