Sorry Bob, When I got to Spencer that day they had that engine on the turntable and I didn't take a shot. |

Disappointed to learn that the AC4400 is cancelled. I was dreaming of a pair of Ferrosur units..
However, an ES44AC beeing expected, I simply hope that we'll have some undecs, in order for me to have a few models of mexican roads...

No plans for a SD70ACe in the short term. We just did a rerun of the SD70/SD75 locomotives. As for the ES44AC, two Mexican railroads are planned, KCSM and Ferromex.

GREAT to have something short (more cars on a spur or mixed freight). Looks like a rapid prototype mock up, always a quick way to check ProEngineer shop behind us has 27 different types to work with. syrup tanker is a great add too. All those new locos, just means more trains running at shows. We are adding another yard so we will have more railroad specific locations spread out along the routes. Jeff SF Bay Area Z |

All freight cars are finished plastic, which means they are not that far from production. The 17900 gallon Syrup car and Coil Car will come before the ACF 2 Bay Hopper.
Show is over for now. We look forward to Portland August 2015.
Sincerely,
Hans

It is fortunate for my budget that you are doing so much modern. Mid 60's latest for me.

I spy a WP caboose. Yay!
A question re. the F3/F7. I hope that these are pre-production shells, because I think the headlight is sticking out a little too far, and the number boards are missing. Besides that they look great to me. Hope to see some WP F7s in silver and orange someday.

Excellent point to bring up about the "nose" on the headlight as well the number boards missing. I went and looked back to see the pictures and also noted no number boards on the E-8 either. I am sure there is more to this question that we are not aware of yet.
So.....Rob & Hans, do we have number boards for the upcoming F-Units and E-Units? Will they be lighted?

We will have all kind of headlight combinations on our E and F units. All engines that have number board boxes will have those. They will not be illuminated. All engines that we had in Cleveland are prototypes and may not show correct details.
Sincerely, Hans (AZL)

Hans, Robert,
Overall its a great selection you've announced. While I'm not interested in everything you're coming out with, one would be hard pressed to say there is nothing of interest. AZL has done a great job in keeping me interested in Z.
And did I see a couple of Daylight Heavyweights in the images?
