The online Zscale dealers slowly beginning to fadeaway. Norm Rockwell ,Trains .com and now Model Train Stuff. Only Zscalemoster and Ztrack resale offer a variety of z stuff.
PS forgot Z scale hobo sorry Frank.

Ya ,I seen that was coming when they started there % sales. Especially when it hit 50% entire stock. Just matter of time. Plus no restock or new items added when released from AZL or MTL for past 3or 4 months.

Frank That’s a lot of antenna to be prying on. Don’t want to damage the shell either.

Thanks

They did undec GP 38’s and sold out . It would be nice if they did it again ,but I don’t see it happening. Some while back in the forum they wrote it wasn’t cost effective, if I remember correctly.

Adding my 2c as I am not feeling the love on this amazing, better than dealer cost offer (believe it) that AZL has bestowed onto everyone. [/quote]
Frank Calm down ! No one is complaining . We all was wondering were the Horns are ( Were is the Beef ) comes to mind .Rob A gave us an answer on that issue . Guba was the one with issues on handrails . As for a deal ,no doubt. Waiting to see what wife’s bonus will let me buy 2,3 ,4 sets

It never came with one. You'll need to buy either the single RDC horn or the 3-chime horn and drill the appropriate hole(s) to mount it. 😳lol by the time I drill a hole for a horn . The roof would probably look like Swiss Cheese . Old ,shaky and blind in one and can’t see out of the other

So what about the missing horn ? I do not know if the C&O came with a horn, but I do not see one on the photos. I cannot check the existing inventory as I do not have access, and I did not work on that project, so your guess is as good as mine. I do know that they were made by Sanda Kan, and they “lost” the tooling so once these are gone, that’s the end of the line. With or without a horn, it’s going to be a rare breed unless MTL restarts production - and I have not heard them making any moves in that direction. It’s a great little loco that pulls like a mule. Dave Wolf runs them with one GP7 pulling something like 50 cars at train shows for hours one end. Hope this info helps. It’s about all I know on the subject. Best -Rob Thanks Rob for answering me on the subject. No doubt,I have all three C&O locomotives they are great little runners. I want to purchase more of them cause how great they have been. In another thread I was hoping for a run on some replacement shells of different road names . Cause if that was possible.I’d buy a couple dozen in a heart beat.

Railings are falling off and bent. I bought items from last years BF sales and was happy with my purchases. This year, not. That can be taken care of. Please contact Rob Kluz. So what about the missing horn ?

We hope to have the first CAD drawings just after the Summer. Will share as soon as they become available. In the mean time we can reveal the most likely railroads to be included in the first run. And no surprise we have the usual suspects: UP, ATSF, BN, C&NW, MILW, Conrail, CP, CSX, BNSF, NS, CN (IC) and B&O Chessie. We are also considering L&N, SOO, WC, RI, FEC and Southern. The second run will include several smaller railroads and different paint scheme variations from the Class 1 railroads. Stay Healthy! Will Wheeling Lake Erie be one of the smaller railroads in second run? SD 40-2 Wheeling & Lake Erie
