An obscure railroad from an obscure state. Probably not much interest I’d imagine 😜

Are they sold out yet? If not it won't be long! Get 'em while they're affordable (sort of)!

Only seven days to fall (autumn)! Thanks AZL!! I be ready for SW1500s!!!! And Autumn lasts until December 21, so a bit of wiggle room. Considering the number of roads announced, it could take another 6-9 months to release them all.

I counted 23 road names. At one per month that's almost two years. Also there are the PA's, remaining F7's, remaining E7's, another run of 70ACe's, and eventually the SD40-2's. So it will either be a VERY extended release schedule for all of the above, or they would have to start doing multiple locos on just about every release date. That has happened on a limited basis before, but we're talking just about every bi-monthly release point. Rob K gonna be burning the midnight oil. All the above to say...it's a great time to be in Z-scale! Get your wallets ready for battle!!!

As of early April, 2021, Hans counted 115 new locomotive releases coming up. (See the E7 forum thread). So 115 divided by 2 releases per month = 57.5 months, or almost 5 years to release them all. I'm guessing they will somehow speed that up just a tad.
