Anyone interested in coming to the office and test running trains? Ann, our dedicated QC guru, can't have all the fun.  I can’t think of a better way to spend quarantine! |

Time to see America! I got the hybrid loaded and I’ll be there I a few weeks.  Have fun ! Slow speed staring voltage (like the magazines use). Top speed meets minimum. Runs thru figure 8 and left/right turnouts (use both MTL/Rokuhan + Atlas with dead frog) |

Do you need any testing done in Canada to meet USMCA treaty agreement compliance? There's a few of us up here that could help. The Border is closed until at least July so we can't come...

Wow. I don't know how I missed seeing this earlier. The RS3 in D&H colors is beautiful! I'll have to go for those, since the Delaware and Hudson and the Erie Lackawanna were both under the Dereco holding company arrangement in the late 60's to early 70's. And as luck would have it, here's D&H RS3 #4122 in back of EL #6321, in August of 1972. -7112-6321%20Lanesboro,PA%208'25'72.jpg)  And here's an EL RS3, again with EL #6321, as well as #6311. #6321 sure liked the RS3's, no matter the flag. I guess you just have to love the RS3.  EL had a "kitbashed" RS-3 built from a wrecked ex-D&H unit and components from one of their own RS-3's, but it's clearly not that one... Ah! Interesting. I just received a beautiful book, "DERECO In Color," to learn more about that period in EL history, with D&H. Some very nice photos in it and it covers more than just the EL/ D&H. Really glad to see the RS-3s and RSD-5s made it stateside, Hans. Also, REALLY looking forward to Phase II, eventually, and some Erie Lackawanna. |

Well, I would love to run locomotives, but more than that I would love to see another Z Scale Convention in Columbus. I was going through pictures, and found this one where there were almost 100 Z Scalers, all in one location at the same time. It was great fun, and it has been so long that we have had a Z Scale convention.  |

Hans, While it takes all the fun of anticipation out of releases, perhaps you should just publish the release schedule. You'll be getting 10 more requests by day's end anyway. BTW: what is the release date for.... |

Correct, but it is not set in stone and is very much subject to other new product deliveries from our producers.
It is better to answer what we kind of know. SOU will follow the NH in October. If this changes, it is because of other exciting product deliveries.
