Hans Riddervold (AZL) Rob Albritton ztrack So we have some insight about the lineup of locomotives coming up and the Super Chief passenger train. There have been mentions of freight cars in the works, but not specifics that I can recall seeing. Can AZL give us any info/hints/teasers about any upcoming freight car releases? (this could include re-runs...I know there has already been talk about the possibility of another run of Maxi-I's) Since there is no NTS or other announcement type shows in the near future, a virtual announcement might have to do. No better time than now?

I think AZL should wait until July 17, 2020 to make the announcements. I would also like to suggest that they should bring their samples to Foley, MO and run them on my modules.π

Thom, I'm good with both of those ideas! Guessing the 17th as a symbolic nod to the NTS? Perfect. So, sort of a mini-NTS at your place then? If AZL is in, I am too! I'll bring the snacks.

Yes that would be natural. There is going to be a virtual NTS something we want to be part of. If they let us in, I think we will make a freight car announcement. And it would be a good opportunity to talk about the upcoming SW1500, SD40-2 and the Super Chief as well.

Its not NTS but NMRAx is holding a 12 hour virtual Live Convention on Facebook tomorrow
SATURDAY, MAY 30, 2020 AT 6 AM β 6 PM UTC+01 NMRAx Virtual FB Convention May 30 2020 NMRA Facebook Live
This will be the 3rd such event that I know of. First one was a little over a month ago, 24 hours straight with 24 live clinics & Layout tours streamed Live on Facebook from around the world.
The 2nd one was just 2 weeks ago, 12 hours, 12 clinic's & Layout tours streaming Live on Facebook,
They have had some Very interesting and informative clinics along with some amassing layout tours from big name modelers and Manufacture
Both times you were able to post questions then at the end of each clinic or tour they had a Q & A session where you could Chat with them Live in real time and get answers to your questions.

NMRAx: only if you are a Facebook member. Other stuff they do does not require an account. They are working on finding a uniform public platform, especially due to an ever steepening membership decline.

Did you guys present any updates about the locos/Super Chief or any announcements of any kind? I think we all could sure use some good news right about now... Maybe some Maxi-IV 53ft articulated 3-unit stack cars or Trinity 5161 covered hoppers?

We are planning a "live" event at the end of the Summer to compensate for the missing NTS news. So give us some time to come up with something. We will announce a new freight car for sure and give a candid update on our pipeline of announced products.

Seriously though, thanks for providing updates when you can...much appreciated.

Ha, I was thinking about this today. Tomorrow is my birthday, so I was going to post something tomorrow begging for a good birthday announcement a day early. After today's order for BNSF Circle Logo Maxi-I's, I only have TTX Maxi-I's left on my wanted list of things I know are coming. (I would expect eventually SD40-2's to make that list once we learn specifics, and more ES44's, but no freight cars)
