AZL National Train Show Special | Atlanta Available exclusively from Thursday, July 11th through Tuesday, July 16th. They’ve finally pulled in to the AZL station, the USRA Light Mikado Locomotives. I know, we’re excited about them too! We wanted to do something special with the first Mikado release, the Southern Railway, as it arrived at our offices so close in time to the NTS in Atlanta. We’re making the first few Southern Railway Mikados available exclusively at our booth at the NTS, July 19th – 21st. You have to be at the show to pick these up, no shipping or mailing possible. If you’re going to the NTS in Atlanta and you want to get your Mikado(s) while you’re there, choose the road numbers you’d like below, pay for them now and pick them up at our booths. The AZL booths are #435 and #436. All NTS Mikado orders must be placed by 5pm eastern time, Tuesday, July 16th. We’re only taking along the Mikados ordered through Ztrack, so if you want to pick yours up at our booths, you need to order now. Note, Pre-Paid Only, we will not be accepting payments at the show. To order, please visit: www.ztrack.com/offers/nts/index.htmlNot coming to the NTS? Not too worry! These will be available through your favorite AZL dealer! See you in Atlanta! Rob Kluz

WoW! Nice looking. I sure hope all the other road-names will look this good. Unfortunately, I can't make it to Atlanta, nor is SOUTHERN something I'm interested in.
How soon for the next release?

Excellent, thanks for the "rough" schedule, i have until December at least to save some more money for some PRR Mikes. I also just noticed that the loco has a front coupler, awesome, anyone for some double heading??!!

We are going to try to release them as quickly as possible - this schedule is really dependent on how fast Rob Kluz and his army of minions can test the locos for quality control.
It will be complicated by the imminent arrival of SD70 and GP9. Those will need testing too.
