Just be brutally honest when you get back. I know this has been an ordeal.

Nice, a long train to run. Just need a diesel set to put in front of them.

Thanks Hans and Rob for considering a coupler only option. Between body mounts or kit-bashes, we welcome the knuckle only coupler

Going to need some spare traction tires at some point too. On the new wheels, the traction tire sticks WAY out, not 'embedded flat' like it is on the SD-70 series. This also seems to make the loco rock quite a bit on turnouts and some trackwork where it doesn't track the rail tread surface. These really need to be flush with the wheel's overall contact surface, as they were in prior locos.

Hans, Rob, we hope so ! Most all dealers reported already sold out (of unreleased) roads and, only 2-3 'sets' (not 20 as above) so no chance for the casual forum reader to know !

Rob doesn't do decals anymore. His job is all consuming and he has found other interests that take up any other available time. He is still an avid model railroader and Z scaler.
Please note: he is a perfectionist so his decals are based on exacting research (that most all do NOT do, even though he specifically requests it). Any example are must be CLEAR, high resolution PHOTOS or actual drawing. What he hates is having to do all the research to get the art work both correct and also recreating it. Takes WAY too many hours for what seems trivial to most. He prefers to spend to now few minutes left resting from gruling work schedules. Similar to Tim Beuhring.

I was wondering if there were any 'coaches' with any of the cars? Or, did the railroads use only Parlor, Diner and Sleepers for these lines ?

Newer AZL locos hopefully will have spare parts. Trucks, couplers, horns, handrails, motors and especially axles/gears. Whether kitbashing or simply repairing, something always goes wrong or bad. Especially us DCC folks and axles.
My new Dan Bouchard GP38 founds it way to the ground and the bottom grey truck axle cover is nowhere to be found. This includes the coupler (which I would rather have as an add-on pilot instead of the gaping gap of the truck mounted.
How do I get a spare truck or just that truck axle cover.
