Thought it was time to create an official product thread.
Not a lot to report, but we are doing some minor tooling modifications at this stage.
Looking forward to share future updates with the AZL Forum.
Stay healthy!

All first run railroads are fixed long time. The second run will follow probably at the end of 2022. It will consist of a rerun of the most popular first run SW1000 / SW1500s and probably 10 new railroads.

It will consist of a rerun of the most popular first run SW1000 / SW1500s and probably 10 new railroads. Sounds good to me. I hope in future runs you will consider some of the leasing companies. Their switchers can pop up just about any where on any road. |

The January/February issue of Z-Track Magazine has a first look set of photos of the shell. The shells look good and proportional. No wide hood to fit the motor, so we can all be very happy about that. The prototype looked to have the SP light packages. The unit has what appears to be AAR type A switcher trucks, but it is hard to tell if they are roller bearing or friction bearing. They almost look like friction bearing, which would be inappropriate, but the photo wasn't setup to show off the trucks lighting wise so I'm not sure. I am sure AZL will have Flexicoil trucks for the appropriate roads.

Those trucks appear to have friction bearings, appropriate to an earlier generation of switchers. You must have something in the works you are not telling us about.
