And that's our 18 Railroads included in the first RS3 / RSD5 run. Hoping for Summer delivery. And we will keep you posted. Stay Healthy!

UP, SP, Cotton Belt, and now the Flying Rio! Thank you AZL! Hopefully a reasonable price and a large production run so everyone can get all the road names and numbers they want and as their budget permits without first day sellouts...
These will be [very] popular!

Please release some RSD5 replacement trucks, so we can make NP U25C's with them!  Not the same truck, similar, but not the same |

Good afternoon Any date for the RS ? I’m sad to learn that EL paint scheme will be not made ... Same here. You'd think we could get something, loco-wise, in either Erie or EL, other than Heritage.  |

Erie and/or Erie Lackawanna will be part of run 2. Any preference? All right! I'm thinking Erie Lackawanna. I'll be ordering a number of them for my yard. Thanks for that info, Hans.  |

Awesome. Thank you. I can’t think of a better compliment to my “transition” period SP layouts...which include SP in the southwest and SP through southern Oregon. Perfect time period & Black Widow livery! When can I get one? It will be the perfect addition to my Mogul, Pacific, Mikado, F 7s, and ( my favorites) several AZL GP 9s. THIS is what I’ve been waiting for!

Yes, these will indeed be sweet and a welcome addition! I'm very glad to see AZL offering them in so many road names.

Please also consider the possibility that a RED CP and a two tone green BC rail will be produced.

I'm very happy to get a preview of what should be rolling out of AZL in the future. I've already started checking out what rolling stock and other items I might want to add to my collection, appropriate for a 60's-70's era operation. Kind of like all the "accessories" a lady just HAS to have to go with those new shoes. |

Please release some RSD5 replacement trucks, so we can make NP U25C's with them! Suddenly a light bulb turns on in my head. Hey, an RSD-5 has 3 axles per truck! This is great. Even if the trucks appear somewhat different at least it has the correct number of axles. I'm working on designing a 3D print for a shell of a U26C (really KiwiRail DXC as Nn3.5). The length is similar to an RSD-5 so this might work for me, although I need to do some number crunching regarding the narrow gauge calcs... The only other possibility for a 6 axle chassis anywhere close to that length is the SD40-2. Edit: So this might allow me to do a decent representation of a U26C in z scale if I forget about the mental aerobics of narrow gauge. That's a very nice possibility! |

DCC is *possible* - there is a space inside that may have just enough space for a small, thin decoder (I'm thinking TCS Z2 *BUT* I have NOT confirmed it - yet) Any DCC updates? |

This is great. The RSD 5 in SP “Black Widow” livery is THE perfect compliment to my SP “transitional” era layouts & locos. A Pacific, Mikado, 2-6-0 Hog configuration, MTL Black Widow & Bloody Nose F7 ABs...and my favorites...my pair of AZL GP9s...that pull 20 plus car freights through the trestles, tunnels, grades & curves of my southern Oregon layout smooth as silk. When & where can I get one of these beauties?
